Some men are not proficient at STEM studies and some women are. The presentation of this essay as some kind of "neutral" finding ends up reinforcing stereotypes of women as not capable in dealing wth technology. What would a young woman with an aptitude for maths and sciences think when reading this kind of so-called argument? That she shouldn't engage, of course. That is the true deviousness of the arguments being made by many here - that the "neutrality" of these studies ultimately makes sure that the supposed findings are endlessly reproduced.
