I can't say I completely understand the entirely apologetic tone towards the memo at the start of the article, but overall this is an interesting post which takes a mostly even-approach from a relevant perspective. I think a major thing the memo misses is that the fact that gender differences are scientifically measurable doesn't mean they're not a reflection of societal inequalities that enforce them. Wouldn't you be more neurotic if you were consistently under-paid and more likely to be sexually assaulted? What's worse is that while there are people who respond to the memo with a moderate approach like the author of this post, there is a huge and incredibly damaging response by people like Robert Verbruggen who use it as proof that "biological underpinnings such as testosterone" (as opposed to discrimination) are responsible for the gender wage gap [0].
