He never said that they were. You might want to read the memo yourself and listen to his claims.

I read it and there's not really a functional difference between his claims and "women are biologically worse at programming"

You are wildly misinterpreting his memo. His claims were not even close to that.

Google apparently read it the same way I did. Are you sure you're not the one misinterpreting it?

James's claim was that personality differences made women less interested in tech than men were. It had nothing to do with ability.pic.twitter.com/q54uAROP5u

You think that the scientific fact that there are personality differences between men and women that make them interested in different things is irrelevant?

I think the differences exist because of socialization and not anything biological. There's social stigma against girls going into male dominated fields and encouraging more women to apply slightly alleviates it. It's not reverse-sexist to try to lower the barrier against women.

Its the other way around. When a girl goes to do kickboxing everyone goes “wow she is so brave. When a man goes to ballet classes people go “lol what a pussy lmao”

That's an extreme example and not at all representative of workspace Dynamics. Male nurses get so much more "you're so brave!" praise than female kickboxers ever have.

Haha male nurses don't get any praise at all. If that's happened before, it is really weird oddity. Men don't congratulate each other for going into jobs like nursing.
