I just downloaded Delusions of Gender and love this opening quote:

"Of all difficulties which impede the progress of thought, and the formation of well-grounded opinions on life and social arrangements, the greatest is now the unspeakable ignorance and inattention of mankind in respect to the influences which form human character.

Whatever any portion of the human species now are, or seem to be, such, it is supposed, they have a natural tendency to be: even when the most elementary knowledge of the circumstances in which they have been placed, clearly points out the causes that made them what they are."

John Stuart Mill, The Subjection of Women (1869)

We Suggest: 
No Gender Differences in Math Performance
Certain Truths Change One's Perception about Gender and Sexuality
Gender Roles are Created by Society Not Biology
