Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference

Super Short Summary

Delusions of Gender by Cordelia Fine challenges the notion that men and women have inherently different brains by critically examining both historical and contemporary neuroscience. The book argues that gender differences are primarily a result of socialization, environment, and cultural expectations, rather than biology. It highlights the persistence of gender stereotyping and its influence on human behavior, critiques the biases in scientific studies of gender differences, and discusses how sexist stereotypes self-perpetuate, especially in children.
