"Google CEO cuts vacation short to address controversial memo that argued women aren't biologically fit for tech jobs"

I remember the headlines on CNN.com using the phrase "biologically unfit", which is the exact same thing as "not biologically fit" anyway.

Sometimes headlines are changed without notice. I previously worked on the same floor as a niche online magazine. Every now and then someone powerful from within the niche covered by the magazine would ask for things to be changed or removed, and the magazine had to comply.
