Did I really get downvoted for stating that people who argues about gender diversity should be aware of one of the strongest psychological differences between the sexes? It doesn't matter if the cause is biological or not, fact is that women are on average significantly more neurotic than men in all modern societies.

Didn't downvote you so I can really only guess, but my guess is that you were downvoted for the argument that you were implying.

After all, even if the statistical female population does have a higher baseline for neuroticism, would that fact actually weaken the argument for gender diversity?

How would it be any different from the fact that men on average are taller?

Nobody argued against diversity, the document in question only stated that our current diversity efforts aren't really working and that we should consider measurable gender differences such as prevalence of neuroticism if we want to really move the needle.
