The second paragraph of the linked article?

"Interest is not the same as ability. I believe it is likely that the sexes have different interests on average, and that biological factors play a large part in this."

This statement, a basic biological fact, is now used as evidence of someone being sexist? To folks that think like this: I suggest you recalibrate your models of interacting with reality because you've gone wildly off track and are about to fall off a cliff.

He literally tells you that it's his bellyfeel: "I believe it is likely that (...)". Come on...

>the same opinion being an uncontroversial fact in biology,

I'm confused is it opinion or fact? Can't be both, can it?

> one that every practicing biologist would agree with

Where are you getting this from? As far as I'm aware biologists, practicing or not, are not particularly concerned with the study of human behavior.

It's a "biological fact" that women are less interested in technology?

The Reddit link didn’t load for some reason and the other day be didn’t include anything racist, homophobic or transphobic. What it did cover is definitely a simplistic view ignoring the cultural nuances that might lower women’s participation in stem, but I’m not sure I’d classify it as sexist.

He suggests women are biologically less capable than men in STEM. But I note you didn't include misogyny as a problematic belief.

Maybe I read it wrong but I took it as him saying women are “naturally” less interested in STEM not that they are less capable in the area.

And I’d say that misogyny falls under “sexist” in the list of problematic stuff

I wonder what his take on the differences of IQ among races are. Bet it's also as "enlightening"
