Let's be very clear here - Dr. Soh manages to completely skirt the issue by linking to blog entries and trying to claim it as if this is a denial in a belief in detectable gender differences.  This is in no way what this conversation is about - it's not relevant if "men and women" are different, and I don't think any of the sources she is trying to  paint as disagreeing with her in fact, are.  However, just because men and women are fundamentally different does not necessarily make one gender better at their job.  Reading the former Google employee's response brought up something that I already knew - I have worked with a ton of hopelessly inept male colleagues, and while I will admit I will never be the smartest, or the fastest programmer, I am one of the few I know who actually really cares about their job, cares about the quality of their code, and bothers to empathize with and consider the end user's experience.  Shockingly being good at your job doesn't = being good at one thing.
