He suggests that young women have better perspective, plan more for the future, and don't consider themselves bulletproof like young men do.

He does suggest it so I guess I shouldn't say he lost track of the point of the argument.

But he certainly doesn't show it. If that were the difference, women would avoid academic humanities and biology jobs, which they don't. And they wouldn't avoid programming and engineering jobs, but they do.
