      Vague generalizations from non-scientists who read a paper and think it supports a reactionary change to their workplace shouldn't be. 2/2

      Memo guy wants to see diversity targets, special support systems out. Many people disagree with him. The science does not simplify this.

      Biological gender differences are something to consider when setting targets. There's a reason we won't see 50/50 representation everywhere.

      The point is that those differences don't reduce to things that make simple profession preferences fit. As memo guy himself sees.

      And our understanding of biological differences is not robust enough to support business decisions, esp. at lay level.

      And our understanding of culturally constructed differences is even poorer and much harder to measure. So let's work on both.

      As the author of the study points out, though, culture is likely an accelerant or inhibitor to whatever bio dif exists

      That's why I am saying that there is no science based answer here. Any argument defending him needs to be rights based, not validity based.

      Defending his right to express his views is a different issue to whether his views are right, yes. But can address his views too. Please do

      I am also someone who is unemployable in my area of expertise because of holding & writing about gender difference. This is unjust.

          Agree he's being misrepresented. Still think what he said greatly overreaches the science in a way that crosses professional lines.

          What space is owed people of x political lean in y environment. Not sure what I think. No obvious solution.

          No. It may not be your language, but insisting people drop their terms and use yours is a power play that doesn't have to be entertained.

          Adults listen to people who speak differently for them and look for shared meaning, they don't refuse to listen until their demands are met.

          I can't speak to your personal experience, but it does connect to what I thought was the most troubling/fair part of his piece--
