I don't think a stereotypes story or a thing/people story can explain that one.

No. Somewhat less cultural opprobrium and somewhat less horrible harassment explains SOME of that. All? Who knows. But a LOT.

Here's some postmodernism: CHOOSING to focus on the biological factors rather than the (also well-documented) cultural sexism ISN'T NEUTRAL.

I would be perfectly happy for us to examine the bio preferences of various genders once we're SURE we've removed all the cultural factors!

Both can be discussed, though. You could argue that it's impossible to know how much is cultural until you
-
know what your baseline should be. Either way, the idea that it can't even be discussed is kinda nuts.

It seems obvious that the dude who wrote the original memo overstates the bio factors, but that doesn't make

him a monster. People can simply be wrong without being immoral.
