Hmm, it's interesting that social scientists often start out trying to understand behaviour, but end up engaging in social engineering. This research often comes across as activist positions dressed up as academic research. I studied the geography of gender (and am now a post grad behavioral ecologist), and I was surprised how little these behavioural researchers understand human evolved behaviour (genetically or culturally), and the selection processes that lead to the emergence of any particular population norm. It would be interesting to see a debate between the feminist academic narrative structure and a more evidence (for now let's call it qualitative and quantitative evidence) based academic.
