S/He Brain: Science, Sexual Politics, and the Myths of Feminism

S/He Brain: Science, xxxual Politics, and the Myths of Feminism by Robert L. Nadeau
Pub: Praeger Trade |10 1996 | 184 pages |0275955931 | PDF |11 MB

During the 1960s, Margaret Mead's argument that gender identity is a product of learning in particular cultural contexts was incorporated into the "xxx/gender system" in feminist theory. In this system, xxx refers to physiological differences in the body and gender refers to learned xxx-specific bodies to be viewed as separate and distinct from gender-neutral minds. In S/He Brain, Nadeau demonstrates that the xxx/gender systemis not some arcane bit of academic jargon that has no impact on our daily lives.  

  It is the greatest source of division and conflict in the politics of our xxxual lives for a now obvious reason: the brains of men and women are not the same, and the differences have behavioral consequences. Further, he argues that an improved understanding of the relatinship between xxx and gender could enlarge the bases for meaningful dialogue between men and women and lead to new standards for xxxual equality that is more realistic and humane than the current standard.

 Review
“In this closely reasoned--and likely to be controversial--report, Nadeau contends that biological differences between male and female brains do indeed bear on differences in male and female behavior.”–Publishers Weekly
