This article is trash. Who is claiming that there are no gender differences across the population? Who is she arguing against exactly?
Maybe the author should have actually read the manifesto more carefully, because it is primarily an argument about Google's hiring practices and how to build the best workforce for a company, a topic which the scientific studies she cites do not address in the slightest.

About a quarter of comments on the original manifesto thread here on HN were from people who explicitly stated that there are no differences between genders and wanted scientific proof if someone were to refute their statement.

There were many comments arguing that environmental factors are more important, or pointing out that the science of testosterone's effect hasn't been directly connected to job performance, which I think are great subjects to debate.

- akamaka 9y agoThat article is trash as well, and it fairly got flagged when it was posted here. I think HN is a place for a more enlightened discussion.
