What makes a man?
At Aeon, psychologist Cordelia Fine and the evolutionary biologist Carole Hooven take part in a dialogue highlighting their differences in opinion on the relationship between testosterone and human behavior. Their disagreement is cordial, but nevertheless reveals “why discussions about sex differences remain both scientifically complex and politically charged.”
Intrigued by this conversation? Read the review of Hooven’s book by Featured Authors Holly Lawford-Smith and Kate Phelan, arguing that Hooven fails to seriously engage feminist arguments about the role that socialization plays in shaping male behavior patterns.
