From the article:  Gizmodo [...] called it an “anti-diversity screed,” and all hell broke loose. Mainstream media – CNN, the BBC, NBC and others – used similar language to characterize the memo, the gist of which, they said, was that women aren’t biologically suited for tech jobs.

The avalanche of ignorant commentary from people and pundits who had not actually read the piece was breathtaking, but it started with the misinformation from supposedly respectable media outlets.
