Research on Sex & Gender


I like my anthropology class. It makes me laugh when I read old-timey research on sex & gender. I imagine heavy set men with moustaches and pipes sitting around drinking scotch while concluding that, genetically, women have smaller brains (and are therfore less smart) then men because, as a species, we require women to stay home and nurture children rather than pursue intellectual endeavors.

I love old-timey sexism.
