How is pointing out that the two sexes have different biological and neurological aspects, making each (generally) suited to different jobs "being a dick"?

That only really comes into play with jobs that require a lot of strength, men are obviously better suited to that kind of work.

Trying to make out that women aren't suited to leadership roles or the tech business based on their gender is silly, Leadership qualities are based around personality primarily and women tend to be more academic then men so making out that they aren't suited for roles that require expert knowledge is just plain nonsensical. He was being a dick and coming up with false reasons to try and cover his obvious sexism. The tech business is a boys club for the most part and there aren't as many women as men in leadership positions and neither of those facts are because women aren't suited for either.

The fact that his allegations in the article linked are fairly obvious lies to paint him as a victim and demean people from issues he'll never understand by creating silly comparisons and painting them as truth when he has no one else but himself to blame for his own stupidity that got him sacked in the first place. He's just another straight white male that desperately wants to be a victim and blame the world for their own dip**** decisions.

Have you read his manifesto? It is actually quite well written and he openly admits there's blindspots from both left/right viewpoints on sex. It is not sexism, because he's not saying all women are not suited, he is simply saying that there are differences between our genders that make us more inclined for different roles hence that is at least a significant part of the reason for the gap in employment between the sexes... sexism to me would be arguing for it becoming an exclusive space. His disagreement is Google's handling of this internally as far as excluding certain types of discussion on the matter to actually dealing with the gender gap.

This isn't a knock against women and it's not meant to exclude them from tech. We evolved differently from men to cater to our specific strengths, just like men have evolved differently to cater to their specific strengths.

Now if you believe that pointing out these differences cause sexism and shouldn't be discussed, then we can disagree, but I think look over his actual manifesto and see if you or other's opinion evolves at all.
