He claims the author is ignorant of gender, yet the person has turned out to be a PhD in a Biology related field from Harvard.

  He doesn't have a PhD. https://twitter.com/nitashatiku/status/894939560391565317 https://twitter.com/nitashatiku/status/894939560391565317. He was in the PhD program at Harvard for two years, and published nothing during that time.

    Was going to correct (posts don't have edit function), my other posts mention he has a Masters.

Quote from the article: 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. This article specifically avoids countering the original article point-by-point. I would love to see an article or comment that does that.

Considering it starts with a straw man, continues in a highly emotional tone, doesn't address a single point of the original "manifesto", and is little more than a piece written to prop the author up ("I don't even work at Google anymore but I had to clean up after you, son.."), I fail to see that article as more than an embarrassment for the (very senior) guy who wrote it.

This post has been shared widely but I found it offering zero substance but lots of moral preaching. The only thing what this piece had going for it was that it was published early and spoke to the ideological crowd that was unwilling to even factually and constructively engage with the content from the memo. I found this post to be the only one I saw that actually managed to rebut some of the memo author's conclusions. https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/differences-between-men-women-vastly-exaggerated-adam-grant https://www.linkedin.com/pulse/differences-between-men-women...
