This article is shameful, yet another hatchet job full of misrepresentation.
“You just put out a manifesto inside the company arguing that some large fraction of your colleagues are at root not good enough to do their jobs, and that they’re only being kept in their jobs because of some political ideas.”
“I think one-third of my colleagues are biologically unsuited to do their jobs”
this is categorically NOT what the memo says! The argument is that average biological differences may be a contributory factor to the gender imbalance within the field. It did not in any way criticise or judge female fellow employees or women within the field (indeed, it implied they were more exceptional).

Yonatan Zunger, you are clearly an intelligent person so this article can’t be the product of simple stupidity; it must therefore be wilful and deliberate misrepresentation and misinformation, which is far worse. It deeply troubles me that someone of your influence (as a former senior Googler) would choose to be a force for ill in this world.
