The Gendered Brain by Stephen Rippon
The New Neuroscience that Shatters the Myth of the Female Brain
A critical examination of claims that brains are inherently male or female, arguing that purported sex-based differences stem more from culture, expectations, and biased research than from biology. Drawing on modern neuroscience and neuroplasticity, it shows how experiences and socialization shape brains along a spectrum rather than into two distinct types, exposing how flawed studies and stereotypes have fueled neurosexism. It calls for more rigorous, context-aware science and a move beyond simplistic binaries to better understand human diversity.
