Features: It is claimed that scientific evidence proves women's mental structures are less complex than men's, and women's subordinate status has a physiological basis. In this book, the author thoroughly explores the science of gender differences in the brain and behavior, revealing that scientific conclusions about natural and social gender differences in every era reflect the culture of the time. The book addresses a series of significant questions: Are there gender differences in thinking and perception? Do men and women use different parts of the brain to process language? Do social relationships have a stronger influence on behavior than sex hormones? Do gay genes really exist? The author points out that the complex interplay of biological and social factors provides a better way to gain a deeper understanding of natural gender, social gender, and the brain.
