The problem is they (the sexist scientists) try to explain a social construct (gender) with biological bases and exclude socio-cultural factors

But flexible, context-sensitive, and useful is not the same as "hardwired." And, when we take a closer look at the gender gap in empathizing, we find that what is being chalked up to hardwiring on closer inspection starts to look more like the sensitive tuning of the self to the expectations lurking in the social context.

The maxim "fake it till you make it" gains empirical support.
