- Summary
- "Drawing on years of exhaustive research, psychologist Rosalind Barnett and media critic Caryl Rivers reveal how a toxic mix of junk science, pop psychology and media hype has profoundly influenced our thinking and behavior, causing us to make dangerous decisions about how we choose our partners, raise our children, and manage our careers." "Same Difference reveals how the emphasis on innate difference between the sexes has compromised education, workplace relations, marriages, and friendships. The authors dismantle, one by one, commonly accepted notions of biological destiny, from the "math gene" to maternal instinct."--BOOK JACKET.
