The implication of “preference” is due to his belief of biological difference which makes it less of a preference and more of a capability.
No it doesn’t, preference has nothing to do with capability. Or, if that’s too strong, they’re at least not synonyms. The fact that i prefer not to work in a sewer or a coal mine says absolutely nothing about my capability of doing so.
He directly says that women have difficulty leading.
This isn’t anything you addressed earlier so i’m not sure why you’re citing it now in a post whose purpose is to provide citations for previously made claims. Are we moving the goalposts?
Regardless, he also said that this was just an average and that there was overlap between men and women. I don’t happen to know if the claim is true. Presumably if you did you would have provided support of this.
As for the neuroticism. Your links fail to take into factor that more women are willing to admit any perceived “weakness” which is a social and not biological issue.
No they don’t, you just have to actually read them. These are cited in the paper i linked. There are numerous others.
Need we measure anxiety differently for males and females?
Universal features of personality traits from the observer’s perspective: data from 50 cultures.
Thankfully, climate scientists and evolutionary biologists generally aren’t on the right. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of humanities and social scientists learn left”
What he means is all of the scientists that disagree with him have to be ideologically motivated.
You left out the next part of that quote.
Thankfully, climate scientists and evolutionary biologists generally aren’t on the right. Unfortunately, the overwhelming majority of humanities and social sciences lean left (about 95%), which creates enormous confirmation bias, changes what’s being studied…
He was drawing a parallel to the culture inside Google in describing the dangers of an echo chamber where everyone agrees with each other. Ironically, it is this exact kind of environment that diversity programs are ostensibly aimed at addressing in that they argue for inclusion of people with differing viewpoints. He wasn’t claiming that anyone who disagrees with him was ideologically motivated, he was stating the danger of having an entire field be represented by only one ideology in that it will feed confirmation bias and have an impact on the direction of research.
Neither you nor the author provide any evidence to support supposed biological differences that is claimed as the reason that there are fewer women in tech.
Well, i’m not arguing it so i have no duty to provide evidence of anything. I’m simply taking you to task for (imo) dishonestly misrepresenting what the manifesto actually said. As for what he’s arguing for, the author included 35 links in his document, so unless you’ve read them all you probably aren’t well positioned to claim that he has provided no evidence.
