Document Summary
Writings of contemporary biological and social scientists suggest that women"s lack of aggressive drive and native ability ensures that they will always earn less, thus guaranteeing equal pay discriminates against men. Leaving sex in the realm of scientifically verifiable fact left feminism vulnerable to a new tide of biological difference. Naked sex that which is left when all gender is stripped away is often seen as immutable, while gender is often seen as malleable. We will not resolve the science at issue until we have reached some form of consensus over the social policy at hand. Instead of asking how anatomy limits function, a developmental systems theory (dst) researcher will ask how function shapes anatomy. Reconcile global regularities with local variability understanding the emergence of general features recognizable as gender, while at the same time incorporating into our story the within group variability. Integrate developmental data at many levels of explanation.
