Well yes that's the point: if data perpetuates sex stereotypes then is it immoral to discuss the data?

The answer is yes when the data is cherry picked to fit a narrative.

Maybe you should be editting the wikipedia page on human sex differences? Because currently it strongly gives the impression that those differences are real and substantial

The Big5 study that Damore chose specifically has been debunked as being not scientific for claiming biological differentiation in human psychology, because of it's lexical nature.

This is a few steps above "boys and girls have different sex organs" on wikipedia.
