(According to the study) Generally speaking men tend to attach their self worth and image to their job and pay more so than women do. Women tend to have exterior items they attach self worth to like their house , family or friends. The study showed that when women are interviewing for a new job they tend to come into the interview having already decided they want the job and will take it unless negations go horribly. Men on the other hand tend to be more aggressive in the same setting and will keep on open mind on a few different jobs and will take the one with the most pay/boost to self worth.  

I don't know if I agree with it all but it can explain some parts of it.

There are really two levels to this. 

1) Why are there so many more men than women in tech jobs. 

2) Why are we not willing to discuss question #1 with an open mind, and why would a person with a certain point of view about question #1 get fired for expressing it.  Really, from reading his so-called "manifesto," the impression I got was that his main point was, "Why can't we have an open discussion about this?"   There was nothing in what he wrote that should lead to him getting fired.
