Will working mothers' brains explode? The popular new genre of neurosexism
Neuroethics 1 (1):69-72 (2008)

A number of recent popular books about gender differences have drawn on the neuroscientific literature to support the claim that certain psychological differences between the sexes are ‘hard-wired’. This article highlights some of the ethical implications that arise from both factual and conceptual errors propagated by such books.Author's Profile
