Damore didn't feel victimized by Google's personnel practices until after those "practices" involved him being fired from Google. He argued that policies that were purportedly intended to increase "fairness" in hiring were in fact markedly unfair, ineffective at their presumed goal and reflective of a growing political polarization within Google itself that was worrisome on its own. It's quite common to express concerns about fairness and related issues without feeling victimized personally.
