feminist critique of science

Feminist critique of science examines how gender biases and societal norms can influence scientific research, questioning whether studies may overlook or misrepresent women's experiences or reinforce stereotypes. It highlights that science is conducted within cultural contexts, which can shape questions asked, methods used, and interpretations made. This critique aims to ensure that scientific practices are more inclusive, equitable, and aware of how gender influences knowledge, so that science more accurately reflects and serves all members of society.
