“ In Erica’s eyes, any suggestion that women behave differently than men in any scientifically measurable dimension is inherently sexist and disqualifies the individual from working at Google.”

Nice straw men. She didn’t state that. Plus, the guy wrote a hell of a lot more than a suggestion that women behave differently. Read the memo in full and try to differentiate between his assumptions based on his views of gender (with no given evidence) and his observations that are based on evidence. There are a hell of a lot of the former. People like to try to focus on, “but but statistics” whilst ignoring all the other drivel that guy stated based on nothing. Like women don’t ask for raises because they’re too agreeable. Those “observations” are sexist because they aren’t based on evidence, but simply their own interpretation of reality. If he wanted to be taken seriously, he should have cited sources for those observations. Its easy to point to what he stated that did have evidence, but you like to ignore his other prejudiced remarks. Hell, you probably didn’t even notice it was there. If you’d like to go past just the first couple paragraphs for more prejudice without evidence, its fairly easy. But seriously, you barely have to read any of it before you run into what is literally (not the figurative use of the word literally) textbook definition of sexism.
