O knihe

Explore the origins of sex and gender through a scientific lens and understand social constructionism, its reliance on regressive gender stereotypes, and its pathological doctrines.

Social constructionist theory tells us that boys and girls are not born different but are rather made different through socialization. Yet something strange has happened: Across the world?s most gender-equal liberal democracies, the differences between men and women have not gone away. Paradoxically, gender differences in personality, interests, and occupational preferences have grown larger. This should not be happening. If men and women are made different through socialization, shouldn?t the most gender-equal societies be, after all, gender-equal?

Gender, like the Penrose Triangle, is an optical illusion. Many people think they know its properties, but it?s wildly deceptive. If we can just find the correct angle, then maybe we can observe gender?s actual properties, and with it, perhaps we can solve The Gender Paradox.
