Perspective Tech's sexism doesn't stay in Silicon Valley. It's in the products you use.

It was a rough weekend at Google. On Friday, a 10-page memo titled "Google's Ideological Echo Chamber" started circulating on the company's internal networks, arguing that the disparities between men and women in tech and leadership roles were rooted in biology, not bias. By Saturday afternoon, the tech news site Gizmodo had obtained and published the entire thing. The author, a male software engineer, argued that women were more neurotic and less stress-tolerant than men; that they were less likely to pursue status than men; that they were less interested in the "systematizing" work of programming. "We need to stop assuming that gender gaps imply sexism," he concluded before offering recommendations.
