So the gender differences he talks about are very obviously coming from this meta-study:

http://sci-hub.cc/10.1111/j.1751-9004.2010.00320.x

He uses a lot of the same terminology as the paper, references big-5 personality traits etc, as well as the same personality dimensions like people-object axis.

The left vs. right stuff is clearly coming from Jonathan Haidt's Moral foundations theory:

The author of the "manifesto/screed" is drawing pretty clearly from good research, but isn't linking to it or discussing it in context

Note however that Gizmodo say

> Two charts and several hyperlinks are also omitted

The links that were removed are probably relevant. Some passages in the text even have quotation marks around them where I assume that links to sources were removed.

Yeah, what was up with that? I was really disappointed that stuff was omitted and assumed it was why some of the author's claims seemed so bold. Is there a link to something closer to the original around?

I think it's this one, but the links don't seem to work: https://www.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586-Googles-Ideo...

Edit: Here is the PDF with working links: https://assets.documentcloud.org/documents/3914586/Googles-I...
