Enjoyed reading 'Our Science, Ourselves' by Christa Kuljian (2024). It describes the sociobiology debates from the perspective of female scientists who raised concerns about its inherent sexism and whose (intersectional) voices were not always heard. 🧪

A common claim in #EvoPsych is that the persistence of psychological sex differences in gender-egalitarian* countries shows that the differences are innate. I've argued that ignores the highly-gender-unequal media environment. Now @larawood.bsky.social has proved me right!
