What science has gotten so shamefully wrong about women, and the fight, by both female and male scientists, to rewrite what we thought we knew
For hundreds of years it was common sense: women were the inferior sex. Their bodies were weaker, their minds feebler, their role subservient. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin asserted that women were at a lower stage of evolution, and for decades, scientists—most of them male, of course—claimed to find evidence to support this.
Whether looking at intelligence or emotion, cognition or behavior, science has continued to tell us that men and women are fundamentally different. Biologists claim that women are better suited to raising families or are, more gently, uniquely empathetic. Men, on the other hand, continue to be described as excelling at tasks that require logic, spatial reasoning, and motor skills. But a huge wave of research is now revealing an alternative version of what we thought we knew. The new woman revealed by this scientific data is as strong, strategic, and smart as anyone else.
In Inferior, acclaimed science writer Angela Saini weaves together a fascinating—and sorely necessary—new science of women. As Saini takes readers on a journey to uncover science’s failure to understand women, she finds that we’re still living with the legacy of an establishment that’s just beginning to recover from centuries of entrenched exclusion and prejudice. Sexist assumptions are stubbornly persistent: even in recent years, researchers have insisted that women are choosy and monogamous while men are naturally promiscuous, or that the way men’s and women’s brains are wired confirms long-discredited gender stereotypes.
As Saini reveals, however, groundbreaking research is finally rediscovering women’s bodies and minds. Inferior investigates the gender wars in biology, psychology, and anthropology, and delves into cutting-edge scientific studies to uncover a fascinating new portrait of women’s brains, bodies, and role in human evolution.

大致读了一遍。从一个女性科学工作者和记者的角度对科学界里的性别偏见和歧视状况做了历史梳理，数据很多，但不是枯燥的罗列，有态度，有观点。与少数激进女权不切实际的偏激口号和要求相比，这种实打实的研究还是最有意义的。作者此前已经在国内出过一本《极客帝国》，版权谈好就可以着手翻译啦。

類似於微博上的#看見女性勞動者#，這本書的主題也可以概括為「看見科研學說中有意無意被隱去的女性角度」，把演化生物學到神經科學再到人類學的性別爭議都大致梳理了一遍。 人們常說科學理性而客觀，但科研人員自己都經常做不到這一點，囿於時代和文化的成見也會不由自主地投射在科學研究之上。無論是男科學家拼命抬高男性的作用，還是女科學家努力為女性正名、洗脫各種以科學為幌子加深的偏見，都不免帶有主觀色彩。以前第一次... 類似於微博上的#看見女性勞動者#，這本書的主題也可以概括為「看見科研學說中有意無意被隱去的女性角度」，把演化生物學到神經科學再到人類學的性別爭議都大致梳理了一遍。 人們常說科學理性而客觀，但科研人員自己都經常做不到這一點，囿於時代和文化的成見也會不由自主地投射在科學研究之上。無論是男科學家拼命抬高男性的作用，還是女科學家努力為女性正名、洗脫各種以科學為幌子加深的偏見，都不免帶有主觀色彩。以前第一次讀到祖母假說時深以為然，這次讀到了中立方的看法倒也覺得有些道理，也許只有二者合一才能看見真正客觀的科學的全貌。（當然認為絕經也要歸功於男性的父權精還是趕緊 quit your bullshit 得了🙄️ 個人的年度好書，唯二缺點是作者碰到自己不太熟悉的領域就寫成了文獻綜述，以及拉偏架拉得蠻明顯（ (展开)

很有意思的书，从很多角度描述了女性在人类历史上的重要性，通过研究观察灵长类动物社群来推演女性和本性和在进化中的作用

主题算是感兴趣，可以写作真的太杂乱了，很难把性别研究的脉络梳理出来，听着听着就跟丢了，勉强听完
