Feminist critiques of science
Feminist critiques of science examine how gender biases have influenced scientific research, methods, and interpretations. They argue that historically, science often reflected male-centric perspectives, overlooked or marginalized women's experiences, and perpetuated stereotypes. This can lead to incomplete or skewed knowledge about gender differences and health, among other issues. Feminists advocate for more inclusive, unbiased approaches that consider diverse perspectives, challenge assumptions rooted in stereotypes, and recognize the social and cultural influences on scientific practice, ultimately aiming for a more fair and comprehensive understanding of the world.
