lol. there's no logical fallacy or ambiguity there. it's just that you don't know how to read and don't understand discrimination law. [/quote]

"Differences in distributions of traits between men and women may in part explain why we don’t have 50% representation of women in tech and leadership."

You appear to not understand the word "may" as a modifier to "in part".

[b]may [/b]
1. expressing possibility.

[b]in part[/b]
1. to some extent though not entirely.

May is ambigious.  In part is to what degree.

Used in that quote you can have multiple interpretations (I'm open to hearing more) including:
1) Distribution of traits might (or might not) explain...
2) Distribution of traits might explain to some degree (along with other factors)

o·vert
done or shown openly; plainly or readily apparent, not secret or hidden.

You appear to be arguing that this can be read plainly, running counter to the ambiguous language.

Of course you will just dismiss all of this anyways.
