Neurosexism

Neurosexism is an alleged bias in the neuroscience of sex differences towards reinforcing harmful gender stereotypes. The term was coined by feminist scholar Cordelia Fine in a 2008 article[1] and popularised by her 2010 book Delusions of Gender.[2][3][4] The concept is now widely used by critics of the neuroscience of sex differences in neuroscience, neuroethics and philosophy.[5][6][7][8]
