    A sustained critique of common oversimplified assumptions
  

*by M***L on Reviewed in the United States on January 9, 2018*

This is well-written and well-researched.  My major problem with it is that it's not always clear what thesis she's critiquing.  At times she seems to be attacking the claim that hormones determine behavior, but what she means by "determine" is vague.  Some of her arguments are targeted against a kind of hard determinism (which is so implausible as to be easy to knock down), and at other times the causal relationship seems to be one of influence, but not necessary connection (as Hume would say).  Still, she covers a lot of research that illustrates the complexity of the relationship between hormones, genetics and behavior, which is important to recognize, given the oversimplification of their relationship in popular media (as she notes time and again).  If you already grasp that the relationship is complex and there is no simple causal line from hormones to gendered behavior, the book feels like a sustained attack on a dead opponent.  But definitely it's worth a read if you think there's a simple causal link and are willing to be challenged, or if you want to gain a greater appreciation of the complex interactions between hormones and behavior.

    Deconstructing Gender Essentialism
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on October 15, 2018*

A lot of the same tired arguments are trotted out when equality for women is discussed, and right now they tend to boil down to the same things: We've done enough; women can get those better jobs if they _really_ want them; and we can't fight Human Nature.This book attacks the premise that men are dominant in the workplace and the world because of the Almighty Testosterone, and it doesn't throw evolutionary biology out the window while doing so. Instead, a picture is painted wherein behavior is influenced by a complex combination of adaptive genes, hormones, and developmental environment.The most interesting bit to me was when she picked apart the studies on male and female behavior and pointed out how they were poorly designed, and how way too much was extrapolated from somewhat less than impressive data.I worry this book will bounce right off the people it's intended to debunk though- it even states at one point that it's easier to say testosterone = male superiority and call it a day than it is to examine the huge network of environmental and social factors that drive gendered behavior.Still, it was a worthy effort and an interesting read.

    Read this.
  

*by S***K on Reviewed in the United States on December 8, 2019*

Very densely argued points on “maleness v. Femaleness.”  With the occasional funny aside.  Guess what?  They’ve been trying to fool us......
