I can't find anywhere we're he says that.
He does say
"Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we
don't have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership."
And "Discrimination to reach equal representation is unfair, divisive, and bad for business."
He basically says the gap isn't 100% caused by sexism, and he thinks gender blind strategies for closing the gender gap should be used instead of non-gender blind strategies.
I disagree, I'm all for programs that encourage more women in tech, even if the program has to be restricted only to women.(I think this also applies to minorities) I just don't think his argument to restrict these programs to only gender blind ones is a thought crime.
P.S. I'm so tired of defending this asshole, but people are aggressively filling his mouth things he did not say.
