This just seems like more of the conventional wisdom that our patterns of behavior are "socially constructed," and that most differences in achievement outcomes of various superficial categories of people have, as their most important cause, some kind of pernicious systemic oppression.

Does that book address the "Swedish Paradox," whose patterns of data seem to have made a direct contradiction to the increasingly passe Standard Social Science Model of the human mind as a blank slate from birth? Does it even make testable predictions?

Here's an alternative in case you would like to explore beyond the bounds of the conventional wisdom that sex differences are mere social constructs: goodreads.com/book/show/1519450.Wh...

"Hominem unius librem timeo."
