From Afternoons, 3:09 pm on 15 February 2017

Boys will be boys and girls will be girls doesn't cut it with psychologist Cordelia Fine. 

She says the power of testosterone is highly overrated and it is a myth that the behaviour of men and women is mainly shaped by biology.

She argues that more and more evidence points to how Inequality is cultural, not natural.  

Her new book is called Testosterone Rex: Unmaking the Myths of our Gendered Minds
