Because he donated money to a anti gay-marriage group. Remember what 
happened to Alan Turing? I'm sure Mr. Eich is a brilliant engineer, but

better step down and just do engineering.

cancer or breast cancer.  And before I forget, breast cancer is also 
possible with men. Does your insurance cover that?

Yes, there are some things like sports that can be a problem. In fact 
there have been some women in sport that were later identified as 
intersex people.
