I agree with the content of this article. I have read James Demore's memo, and found it to be an accurate depiction of the differences between the drives of men and women. To pretend these things don't exist, and to burn people like Damore at the stake for pointing out the obvious, is to embrace ignorance. In my opinion, Sundar Pichai handled this poorly.

Are there any peer reviewed scientific articles that prove those assertions. I found James article vague on definition of terms and not quoting enough research. Not to mention the fact that extrapolating from broad population averages to a specific set of people who are not representative of the population will make the evidence for the population inapplicable to the sample in question. Having said that, I don't think firing and lynching was the right response, it just encouraged extremists on all sides.

  @nocoder - He cited his work. Why don't you actually read it and find out? As he has mentioned in several interviews, people have stripped his citations, so make sure you find the original.

  @nocoder - Also, because I'm not a fan of Wikipedia as a source, here is a scientific paper on the gender differences between men and women that includes many sources itself, which should satisfy your curiosity on the subject. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3149680/#!po=42.5000 https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC3149680/#!po=42... Here is a poll conducted by Indeed.com that also demonstrates the differences outlined by Demore in his memo. http://blog.indeed.com/2016/07/18/do-millennial-men-women-want-same-things-job/ http://blog.indeed.com/2016/07/18/do-millennial-men-women-wa... Do you need more examples?
