This article is arguing against four straw men. Damore's memo was not arguing that women have any less ability. Nor did it state that men and women are vastly different. It pointed out where statistically measurable differences exist.
It also acknowledges that culture does influence what careers women are interested in and offers some ideas on changing the culture in order to include more women. So Damore and this professor agree?
The memo was imperfect and jumped to conclusions many of which are probably incorrect, but I am really tired of it being mischaracterized.
This professor's piece is intentionally misleading.

Grant is arguing that the statistics don't bear out Damore's argument that: "the distribution of preferences and abilities of men and women differ in part due to biological causes and that these differences may explain why we don’t see equal representation of women in tech and leadership."
