    • Abstract:
      The article argues that feminist biology does not support much of feminism's current political agenda. Evidence from evolutionary biology exposes the feminist theory on male-female domination. In fact, it exposes as sham feminist's contention that disproportionate male representation in positions of power is evidence of patriarchy and discrimination. The theory that such male domination is a sign of patriarchy and discrimination is in conformity with scientific natural selection. Women, by nature of its reproductive capability, evolved a different hormonal processes and temperamental differences that generate, not an aggressive disposition as males, but rather an organized personality.
