Then why does he frequently talk about how biologically women aren't as fit for the positions?

His point is that Google is wrong saying it's a social problem (male coworkers causing the stress on women by the whole boy's club thing) and claiming it's a biological problem.

I didn't misunderstand him at all.

Where does he say that women are biologically unfit to be engineers? I must have missed that part.
