![[AUDIO FIXED] The Truth Cannot be Sexist - Steven Pinker on the biology of sex differences](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/n691pLhQBkw/hqdefault.jpg)
An excerpt of the 2005 Harvard debate in which Steven Pinker gives his prepared case on biological sex differences and the under-representation of women in science. It covers cross-cultural patterns in preferences and abilities and the overlap between male and female distributions.
Pointed to repeatedly in gender-in-tech threads, especially around the Google memo, as a science-based treatment of sex differences.
