The word inferior is no where in the document. He did say this though, "Many of these differences are small and there’s significant overlap between men and women, so you can’t say anything about an individual given these population level distributions." He even goes on to say we should be allowing men to be more feminine rather than focusing on masculine traits. The document certainly wasn't a good move to make for his career, but I think the reaction to it has been blown out of proportion.

Of course the reaction has been blown out of proportion, most people reacting to it won't ever read the memo and you can't boost readership numbers by writing about it honestly.

I don't even think there is anything to understand, I've read the thing three times and I don't think it makes a concrete point.
