Do you think that science would be a lot further along without the social language of gendered metaphors?
I read this article yesterday ( http://discovermagazine.com/1992/jun/theaggressiveegg55 ) about how the metaphor of the aggressive and hardy sperm and the passive egg is actually quite erroneous. Even though the facts and data showed for decades that the eggs of most mammals was in fact very active and hardy, the myth continued in both hard science and the cultural vernacular that the egg was feminine and fragile, while the male's sperm were intrepid explorers of a harsh and unforgiving uterus.
This myth is how most people think of the act of mammalian fertilization, even though scientific data has shown for years that this is not the case. My question is, how much damage has this and similar tendencies to use gendered metaphors done to the progression of science and understanding? Is the tendency to translate data incorrectly to fit the cultural values of the genders common in other areas than reproductive studies?
Lol john mayer, did you read the article at all?
I'm not sure that the gendered metaphors have done as much damage to science as the have to the masses of people who know nothing about science. Think back to the times before humans knew how the gender of a child was determined. Many families wanted a male son to pass on the family name, and many a time women were cast out or even murdered when they "failed" to produce a male child... and now we know that sperm carries the x or y sex determining chromosome to go with the eggs default x. Metaphors like the one listed in the article are examples of when non-scientific, cultural crap gets incorporated into science. It's really annoying.
Is the tendency to translate data incorrectly to fit the cultural values of the genders common in other areas than reproductive studies? YES. I've heard so many times that because the female brain is smaller than the male brain, that women must be less intelligent. Wrong.. the female brain has just as many neurons as the male brain, just that they are packed more tightly (it could then be said that the male brain has more empty space) Little things like that are everywhere... again, really annoying.
