I defend Damore's memo against stuff it didn't say, what exactly can I specify, other than quote the entire thing to demonstrate what isn't in it? The memo accurately portrays itself, it even starts of with a summary stating it's main points and aims.
What I have done is repeatedly ask you which specific part led you to your conclusions. You want me to prove a negative here? The burden is on you to defend your claims.
You have also attributed a number of claims to me that I have not made (e.g. there is zero gender-bias in tech). I also do not bear a burden of proof for claims I did not make.
Very simple: tell me what exactly in Damore's memo resonates with you, why do you think it's true. That's all. Even if it's restating, in two sentences, what you believe to be the content of the memo.

And when I do, you just say "but he never said that!". Apparently there's no interpretation possible other than whatever super narrow interpretation you came to. Everything else is poppycock.
> You have also attributed a number of claims to me that I have not made (e.g. there is zero gender-bias in tech)
That's rich. You asked me to prove there's a problem. Why would you ask me to do it? If you acknowledge that there is gender bias, then how can you possibly believe there is no problem? It doesn't follow.
A: "Damore's memo says 2 + 2 = 5!!"
B: "No it doesn't."
A: "prove it doesn't!!"
