If you disagree with something someone said, don’t include words that suggest that he said things he didn’t say. Don’t make false claims.
Don’t try to use links to opinions about what he said as sources but seek to link to the actual statements by the person and quote the passages you found offensive or a factual description of what’s actually said.
Sorry I said he thinks women suck at life the wrong way? Gotta say I’m disappointed that you’re just filing this under “well, technically women do have less variance”. That seems … likely to help paper over the likely extent of threat that can be inferred from his having used a large platform to announce this thing,
Wikipedia describes the platform in which he made the statements as “In January 2005, at a Conference on Diversifying the Science & Engineering Workforce sponsored by the National Bureau of Economic Research, Summers sparked controversy with his discussion of why women may have been underrepresented “in tenured positions in science and engineering at top universities and research institutions”. The conference was designed to be off-the-record so that participants could speak candidly without fear of public misunderstanding or disclosure later.”
There’s no reason to translate “we might have less women at top positions because of less variance in women” in such a context into “women suck at life”.
I’m saying I believe he believes it, based on his pattern of behavior surrounding when and how he made the claim, and the other things he’s said, and his political associations
His strongest political affiliations seem to be around holding positions in the treasury under Clinton and then being Director of the National Economic Council under Obama.
Suggesting that being associated with either of those Democratic administrations means that someone has to believe that “women suck at life” is strange.
