The Hard Science of Feminism, Is it Real?

Today we are joined by Marc Defant who, after a lifetime of working as a vulcanologist (my childhood dream job) he decided to take on some of the ideologies of our day, like feminism, and see if the science really stood up to scrutiny. I told him flat out that someone from the hard sciences is going to be disappointed by how we do things over in Social Sciences. He has recently published a peer reviewed paper called, “Evolutionary Psychology and the Crisis of Empirical Rigor in Feminist Studies.” And we talk about academia, the lack of scientific rigor around issues like the wage gap and more in this enlightening conversation. We don’t always agree but his perspective is valuable.
