His memo was more along the lines of "women are less represented in tech because the industry does not favor their traits which are possibly a result of biological differences"

The article seems to have it correct to me?

From the memo:

"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"

preferences and abilities he says.

Yes. And?

He suggests ways to alter Google's engineering jobs to suit abilities females are more likely to excel at, such as making work more social.

Its almost like different doesn't mean worse.

Also women aren't going into "high stress jobs" because they are too neurotic for them.

oh and diversity programs are bad. for some reason.
