FROM THE WOMEN QUESTION IN SCIENCE TO THE SCIENCE QUESTION IN FEMINISM
The article state that Feminist scholar have studies women, men and social relations between the genders within, across, and insistently against the conceptual frameworks of the disciplines. The natural sciences are a subject of feminist. The anticipation and fear are based in the recognition that we are a scientific culture, that scientific rationality has permeated not only the modes of thinking and acting of our public institutions but even the ways we think about the most intimate details of our private lives. We have always placed an important focus on Biology because it is a crucially important science not only for giving us theories about how the living world functions. Biology has always been in a unique position to define race, gender, and humanity, to determine what is normal or abnormal behavior, what is normal or abnormal sexuality, and so forth and most of us listen and learn for it. Biology tells us who we are, how we think and how we should think. Biology is bias toward men and in fact marginalizes women and the world just follows this theory. This is the reason why scholars have a problem with the theories of feminist scholars.

Yes! Science's supposed "objectivity" lends it credence in making certain claims about race, sex, gender, sexuality, etc. Because we tend to think of science as objective we miss the potential for bias which in turn informs how we think about humanity. I wonder what science looked/looks like in non-western contexts? I wonder if this would help us see the biases in our science?
