She will argue that the fact that many sex differences are grounded in biology provides no support for restrictive gender norms or patriarchal values. In understanding testosterone, we better understand ourselves and one another, raising questions as to how we might build a fairer, safer society.
Copies of Carole's latest book, Testosterone: The Story of the Hormone that Dominates and Divides Us are available from...”

There was a total fuck up with the link in the email / Eventbrite page. It didn't get fixed until about 20 minutes into the talk! Many of us were quite cross but these things happen.
The full video is available to watch again though.

Starts roughly around 5 minutes into the video.

That was a good episode. Quite sad that she is also facing harassment and pushback for simply sticking by the science.
