Singer's essay might be one of the most balanced and thoughtful commentaries on this debacle (along with the open page Heterodox Academy [1]).

"Google is a very selective employer, and so it is highly probable that Google’s selection processes have led to Google employing women who are, in specific traits, uncharacteristic of women as a whole"

Its strange how nobody until now addressed this almost certain phenomena and what it means in relation to the memo.
