He didn’t say they can’t learn things, he said they are less confident. He actually used the word “hubris” while describing men. Stop making it into sexism, it’s the opposite if anything.

How is it the opposite? His claim is that women lack confidence, something I’m confident is false. Even giving the benefit of the doubt - that men are simply “more confident” - is sexist and frankly untrue, which is what I said originally. It’s people like you, and him, that make it difficult for women to with these damaging, blanket assumptions that you just take to be true.
