don't get me wrong, i appreciate your attempt at science. i would go as far as to say that yours is a scientifically sound observation. women should not be blamed for reacting to a stimulus when the same isn't applied to men.
so i should be allowed to knock days off work when i wake up too drunk from binging the night before because hey, i'm a man; but the same does not apply to women because women aren't subject to the social pressure of having to prove their manhood by drinking shots of 180-proff cold pressed absynthe.
except that the object of the "experiment" is to have ALL suubject involved perform identically.
the memo originated because of google's very-broad-spectrum integration practices. you could almost call it box ticking. again the memo points out that a group of type A employees and a group of type B employees will not code software with the same efficiency if there are atavic differences between the two groups based on characteristics which, in one case but not the other, tend to influence software coding.
i'm not asking you to do basic observation, such as say, "women like dolls and men like toy cars", but rather to consider the maths behind the memo.
you should understand that in a case as blatant as this, it's easy for one to take sides, and i'd rather side with the memo (because there are science reasons why it exists) than google (whose reasons are purely political). otherwise, i'd be happy to discuss how the vast majority of characterial traits of men and women are sociological rather than inherent. what i am not prepared to do is to ignore the fact that women get pregnant, store fat more easily, menstruate, have inferior muscular structure, are smaller, and in no sane mind, if left alone and naked in a hostile environment, would a group of humans decide that the smaller women should go hunting and the bigger men stay at home. social traits exist for a reason, and that reason is genetic.
yeah like, we totally didn't decide that "women and children first" was thing because you know, preservation of the species. no, we were all playing bingo one day and decided it would be funny if to have women be protected and men instead die because they are expendable.
