Exploding Myths About Gender,
By Cynthia F. Epstein (New York, N.Y. 10025, NY United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Deceptive Distinctions: Sex, Gender, and the Social Order (Paperback)
(Author's description)This book offers a critique of the views and research that men and women possess essentially different emotional and cognitive traits. In a critical review of scholarship from the social sciences, history and philosophy, the book shows how scientific and everyday practices emphasize differences between the sexes and neglect reports of similarities.The book investigates the domains of work, leisure, education, politics and religion, as well as the microdynamics of interpersonal behavior--speaking, touching, and the use of personal space.It suggests that the belief and practice in difference supports the existing power structure.
