The "abilities" mention in there is pretty tantalizing, since as far as I can tell, "ability" isn't actually mentioned anywhere else. The memo instead prefers mentions of a few personality-type differences that are less controversial, combined with some "maybes" about how these differences benignly explain the gender imbalances at the company. Biological IQ difference gets only a passing mention as "science denial by The Left." One wonders about the other kinds of "biological" differences that were edited out before the document was posted. The preceding post overstates how strong the memo was in its rhetoric, but the whole thing is kind of a mess: it simultaneously argues that women are worse at negotiating salaries and raises and also that there is also no pay gap for equal work, it allows as how diversity might be important, but only for those "soft" UX-adjacent roles like design and testing (which are not really "tech" as opposed to software engineering), posits alternative "solutions" based around catering to its identified inherent differences for women but also undercuts each one, and just generally veers off onto wild tangents like the spending of taxpayer money, "violent leftist protests at universities," the superiority of capitalism over communism, and more.
