Blame the brain! Is women's biology the basis of their inferior position in society? Hear how the new brain sciences are being used in this debate, how research into sex differences in the brain can be misquoted, misleading, misguided - and misogynist! Follow the road to NeuroNonsense, learn how to spot Brain Bloopers and scoff at NeuroTrash. Brain stereotyping will never be the same again!
