Where does he claim it's a liability? As far as I remember I claim that this difference means that men and women generally make different choices. Can you point to where he says it's a liability?
- rayiner 9y agoHis ultimate conclusion is that biological differences explain, at least by enough to reconsider diversity efforts, the difference in self selection into programming. Given that conclusion, your reading is even less charitable than mine. Under that reading, he’s literally just throwing out an unrelated difference between men and women, then asserting that’s why men disproportionately choose programming. Classic: premise -> ??? -> conclusion. Reading his memo charitably, I think he’s assuming that cooperativeness contraindicates for programming preference, so at least he has a complete chain of reasoning, even if that assumption is wrong: Women -> cooperative; cooperative -/-> programming; women -/-> programming.
- ThomPete 9y agoCan you please be specific. Point to exact quotes, not your own interpretation of what he writes. That makes it easier to discuss.
