Let me see if I get this straight: 1. You believe that jobs should go to the best-qualified candidates. 2. You believe that irrational beliefs about gender differences prevent this from happening. 3. The article claims that gender differences are real. 4. Therefore, you call the article disturbing and suggest that the author is irrational (last paragraph). This is a poor line of reasoning. You and the author have different explanations, but instead of challenging the author's reasoning or providing evidence for your own, you seem to dismiss the entire article out of hand. If you really believe that an irrational hiring bias is at work here, I would like to see some arguments. Small biases certainly exist, but I doubt that they explain the dramatic gender gap. There is a reason no woman has been president of the United States, and I don't think that biases are a sufficient explanation. This problem is as old as civilization itself, and that suggests that something deeper is at work.
