Why does this statement sound sexist? Is it true? I feel like I should disagree on principal, but honestly I've remotely no idea if this is true or false.

I thought the data was that there are differences, but they're so small that the average man and average woman overlap in the majority of their characteristics.

They are small, and we are not nearly as good at separating out nature and nurture as Damore's claims require.

The comment was an experiment, I was somewhat appalled to see I got upvoted for that here.

Absolutely a fireable offense to inject that sort of discourse into a professional workplace imo.
