I would love some examples of your accusation. You say it's the "definition of sexism". So you must have plenty of examples from his writing.

But that's societal/evolutionary theory proposed by some scientists/thinkers? Also, the belief that women can't compete with men physically is used as an excuse to created women's tennis assocation, WNBA, women's hockey, women's soccer, etc? Is that sexist?

"The greater tendency for men to be interested in having a higher status fits with a long line of biological research dating back to Darwin. It seems men believe that higher status brings the mating opportunities that come with being top dog."

It's almost as if humans were evolutionarily driven to be this way. Is science and discussing scientific topics now bigotry?
If that's why people are upset and if that's why he got fired, then google is going to lose and he's going to be wealthy.
