Female and male brains are different, thanks to hormones coursing through the brain before birth. That's taught as fact in psychology textbooks, academic journals, and bestselling books. And these hardwired differences explain everything from sexual orientation to gender identity, to why there aren't more women physicists or more stay-at-home dads. In this compelling book, Rebecca Jordan-Young takes on the evidence that sex differences are hardwired into the brain. Analyzing virtually all published research that supports the claims of 'human brain organization theory,' Jordan-Young reveals how often these studies fail the standards of science. Even if careful researchers point out the limits of their own studies, other researchers and journalists can easily ignore them because brain organization theory just sounds so right. But if a series of methodological weaknesses, questionable assumptions, inconsistent definitions, and enormous gaps between ambiguous findings and grand conclusions have accumulated through the years, then science isn't scientific at all. Elegantly written, this book argues passionately that the analysis of gender differences deserves far more rigorous, biologically sophisticated science. "The evidence for hormonal sex differentiation of the human brain better resembles a hodge-podge pile than a solid structure...Once we have cleared the rubble, we can begin to build newer, more scientific stories about human development."

只读了三章：P 不过非常喜欢这本书清晰平实的风格，第三章是梳理和质疑与男女两性有关的科学研究（究竟男女的大脑是否有别？），第七章是梳理和质疑与性取向有关的科学研究，有关性取向和大脑构造，各个著名科学实验的漏洞在那里？媒体报道的时候忽略了什么？科学家之间如何相互矛盾？研究扎实，语言清楚明白，值得推荐的好书
评分Just have read several chapters and mark it here. I find myself obsessed with the magic links between biology and feminism.
