I wouldn’t say great deal of empirical evidence. I’d say it was loosely or weakly supported by empirical evidence. For instance, he talks about neuroticism and uses a Wikipedia link as evidence, which refers to a study of some 1,700 women in 55 countries. I would be hard-pressed to use a single study that involved many uneducated women in the developing world as evidence for scientific consensus/certainty about a subset of highly-educated women in America — especially when the study acknowledges that those characteristics decrease as education and opportunity increase. Of his sources, there are dead links, blogs, Wikipedia links, news articles, and journal entries (both peer-reviewed and not). There are a lot of points I support in that memo, but on a whole, it seems poorly constructed/developed.
