جنس‌ضعیف‌تر الفارسية 1398

For hundreds of years common sense was male: women were inferior. Their bodies were weaker, their minds were weaker, their roles were subservient to men. No less a scientist than Charles Darwin claimed that women were at an inferior stage in evolution, and for decades, scientists—albeit mostly male—claimed to find evidence to back it up. Whether we look at intelligence or emotion, cognition or behavior, science continues to tell us that men and women are fundamentally different. Biologists claim that women are better suited to raise families or, more gently, are uniquely empathetic. On the other hand, men are still described as excelling in 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 intelligent as any other person. In The Weaker Sex, acclaimed science writer Angela Saini weaves together fascinating new and much-needed science about women. As Saini takes readers on a journey to discover the failure of science to understand women, she realizes that we still live with an institutional legacy that is only beginning to heal from centuries of entrenched exclusion and prejudice. Gender assumptions stubbornly persist: Even in recent years, researchers have insisted that women are picky and monogamous while men are naturally promiscuous, or that the way male and female brains are wired confirms gender stereotypes.
