'I’m not going to spend any length of time on (1); if anyone wishes to provide details as to how nearly every statement about gender in that entire document is actively incorrect,¹ and flies directly in the face of all research done in the field for decades, they should go for it. But I am neither a biologist, a psychologist, nor a sociologist, so I’ll leave that to someone else.' Ironic that he confuses gender and sex here, further emphasizing his ignorance. The general point about flying 'directly in the face of all research done in the field for decades' is not only not true, it's absurdly so: https://www.google.com/search?q=autism+extreme+maleness+baron+cohen https://www.google.com/search?q=autism+extreme+maleness+baro... https://iancommunity.org/cs/understanding_research/extreme_male_brain https://iancommunity.org/cs/understanding_research/extreme_m... and this exactly is in the area of 'systematising' and 'empathy' that the original author tries to provoke discussion on. I also find it interesting that the original memo discusses supposed gender differences arising from sex that 'women in tech' discussion frequently puts forward, viz that women are less likely to ask for pay rises.
