Disproving a scientific study with blog and newspaper links?.. Sorry, but you will have to do better than that.
And no, I don't have to do better than that. It's not my job to argue some random anonymous dude into understanding sexism. The people who want to understand the topic will do the work of contextualizing that one study.
Those who never really wanted to understand, like you and the anonymous dude who tried using that study as a trump card, will go on with your opinions no matter what anybody tells you.
Ironically enough, based on the above evidence, the last statement likely applies to you.
I'll add that I have evidence for my assumption that dudes are biased when evaluating material about sexism. Aside from my 20 years of experience talking with dudes in tech about tech's gender bias, there's also a study showing this effect: https://www.wired.com/story/why-men-dont-believe-the-data-on...
So let's see your data.
Of course, some disclaimers apply. Any conclusions you draw based on a study have to stay faithful to its constraints. And you have to keep in mind that some fields are more trustworthy than others. E.g., so-called 'social sciences' seem to be as much overrun by extreme-left fanatics as the 'progressive' mass media, which is evident in ignoring obvious control factors (e.g. taking into account marital status and number of children reverses results on sex bias [1]) and in publication bias [2].
Also, it's you who needs to prove something wrong, since it's you who doubts a scientific study. And please stop linking news articles, I'm no longer entertained to learn more ways in which the mass media spins the Damore story.

You also get to ignore any article about scientific research (even if it is written by a scientist) because of those darned politically biased journalists. Fake news!
You have constructed a nice, comfortable political bubble for yourself. One you're only willing to talk about under cover of anonymity. This could be because you are the true lone genius you see yourself as. Or it could be because you are picking and choosing anything that you find politically inconvenient. Perhaps, as a genius, you can guess which one I'm thinking here.
So it's okay from your point of view that major news outlets, such as Bloomberg TV, switch into propaganda mode and start making anti-factual claims, such as 'there is no research to support the idea that there are biological causes for the lack of women in tech' [1]. It might be too much to expect commercial media to be objective, but outright fabricating facts is nothing less than betrayal of everything journalism stands for.
Is that a singular case of leftist propaganda? Far from it. If you took a look at Google News the week this story was hot, you'd see your run-of-the-mill articles that open by twisting facts in the title. E.g., 'Anti-diversity manifesto' was apparently considered a mild way to describe it [2]. Some of them proceeded to make false claims, e.g. that Damore was "criticizing the company’s efforts to increase diversity" (no he was not, he considers diversity a good thing and suggests better ways to increase it) or arguing that Google "should stop offering programs to minorities and women" (he was only discussing racist and sexist programs, not _all_ programs) [3].
As to 'fake news' - I take it you're trying to paint me as a Trump supporter. So let me tell you I'm not one, and I didn't even know what that was all about (as I never bothered with US mainstream media before) before it hit me where it hurts with the Damore story. Now I don't know how much pro-Trump media twisted facts, maybe it was the same. All I know is I was shocked to find the mainstream US media to be so ideologically charged as to attack a guy for his [very mild and well-substantiated] opinions with forged facts and labels. Because I know that guy could have been me.
In summary, you, together with the mainstream US culture, need to pop your own obvious, well-documented and plainly visible ideological bubble before you start making claims that people with true liberal, pro-science, pluralistic views like myself are in one.
