Delusions of Gender: How Our Minds, Society, and Neurosexism Create Difference by Cordelia Fine
3.0
Fine made many valid points and backed them by research and studies. She didn't shy away from providing names in the scientific field and contradicting their findings.
However, the book got repetitive and at one point I just wanted to be done. Interesting sure but that's about it. The audiobook didn't help, the voice quality wasn't very good, not sure if the issue is from my audio or the real thing. It sounded too recorded. The voice also became kinda robotic without being actually that?
While I found it informative mostly, I wish it was shorter and didn't go into such detail sometimes... they just bored me. She did prove society's effect on our gender perception, education, parenting, etc. too. But yeah she could've made the same points in fewer pages (the book isn't long but for such content it is). Nonetheless, the topic she discussed is very important and most of us were guilty of it at some point, at least unconsciously. This book over 10 years old, I wonder what has changed since but I doubt it's much sadly.
