> It's clear that, in aggregate, he believes certain groups naturally more "fit" for the work. Now, if you're a woman who has to work with or for him, what do you feel?

He explicitly states that the overall trends contribute to the resulting distributions (eg. overall trend where men are more interested in tech-type things leads to resulting distribution where more men than women work in tech) but that this should not be misinterpreted as having any relevance to any given individual.

So if you're a woman working with or for this person, whose reading comprehension is roughly equivalent with that of your peers (and I'd expect no less at a company like Google), you would know that he explicitly does not view you as any less "fit" or capable, and so would not feel victimized or targeted in any way.

I know what he wrote, but don't feel that "solves the issue" on a personal level. Knowing how one views your entire group is enough to make you question one's opinion of "you." At least I think there's a credible argument to be made from that angle. I don't want to make any definitive claims on anyone's behalf.
