      Not well written and (perhaps necessarily) lacking in essential evidence base. Thus not worth engaging with, except perhaps to shore up preconceptions. This study requires engagement and thoughtful consideration if it's to be of any value, and this summary simply prevents that; it reduces hypothesis plus some evidence base to "fact". I don't mean to be critical: it's just not a work that can be satisfactorily summarised, in my view.

    Insights from Chapter 1

    #1

    The male bias in human evolution is a result of the hunting and gathering lifestyle that our ancestors had. Because of this, the tendency for males to be more violent has been passed down through human evolution.

    #2

    The male-unless-otherwise-indicated approach to research seems to have infected all kinds of ethnographic fields. For example, the cave paintings of game animals are often assumed to have been done by men, when in reality, they were probably done by women.

    #3

    The language itself contributes to the gender bias in how people think. It is often used to describe males rather than females, even when gender-neutral alternatives exist.

    #4

    English is not a gender-inflected language, and as such, the generic masculine remains heavily used. In gender-inflected languages, such as Spanish and French, the generic masculine is used to refer to both genders.

    #5

    The world’s fastest-growing language is emoji, and women are dominating its usage. Until 2016, however, the world of emojis was male-dominated.

    #6

    The issue of gender bias in language is a difficult one to tackle, as words and phrases are often perceived as masculine or feminine, regardless of their literal meaning.

    #7

    It is not just in film and television that men outnumber women, but in all aspects of society, from statues to school textbooks, men are typically portrayed in a better light than women.

    #8

    The male-centric view of the world is reflected in video games, where the male perspective is seen as universal, and the female perspective as niche.

    #9

    The author has noticed that men, in particular, tend to have a hard time visualizing themselves as women. They
