Thanks, DianeD. Sadly, people are easily sidelined into ideological debate. Indeed, the Google employee was fired for claiming gender differences do exist by a management that holds that they don't. The much-debated gender differences are actually only averages which may or may not apply to a particular individual. Otherwise intelligent people fall prey to the trap of over-simplification.
People should be free to choose their occupations based on interest and ability. Let's have neither misogyny nor "scientific" stereotyping based on statistics.
