He mentions aptitude right here,

"I'm simply stating that the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership."

He also mentions it in an interview:

That doesn't imply inferiority. There are a lot of characteristics in which men exhibit more variance than women, but the average for both genders is the same. It might just mean there are more men at the top and bottom, not that women are inferior.
