Testosterone Rex: Unmaking the Myths of Our Gendered Minds

At some point, you've probably heard that men and women have evolved different natures. Whether it's someone spouting that men are meant to be competitive and stronger or that women are predispositioned to be nurturing and caring, this book is here to prove that it's all nonsense. Psychologist Cordelia Fine shows with both wit and panache that sex doesn't create male and female natures; rather, sex and culture work together in ways that make gender dynamics a suggestion. Bringing together evolutionary science, psychology, neuroscience, and social history, Fine proves that we can move beyond tyrannical myth of gender.
