Gender & the Brain: A New View
A new attack on the theory of a "hardwired" difference, in the brain, between men and women.
http://www.onpointradio.org/2011/01/gender-brain-newThe best-seller list told us women were from Venus, men from Mars. MRI scans said, we were told, the genders are different in their very brains. And people have acted on that. The single-sex education push, just for one.
Now psychologist and author Cordelia Fine says "no."
"No," to the assertion of fundamental difference. Look again at the evidence, she says. Society, she says, still builds the difference in men and women.
We speak with Cordelia Fine about her new book, "Delusions of Gender."
