Rhoads (public policy, U. of Virginia) cites a variety of scientific studies and social attitude surveys to support his argument that there are fundamental differences between men and women that should be reflected in constructions of family responsibility and public policy. Dismissing the idea that gender is socially constructed, he argues that men care more about dominance and women about nurturing. This argument leads to a variety of conclusions related to such issues as women's sports and Title IX ("a pernicious form of social engineering"), day care policy, and other topics.
