incorrect citation
The quotation "Isaac Newton's Principia ... of female nature'" does NOT appear on p. 264 of Harding 1986 (the page in question is part of the index). Please provide the correct citation.
- you can go to amazon and search inside this book and it seems to be on page 113. I can't completely verify, amazon kept crashing an old version of mozilla. 71.223.102.125 06:12, 14 November 2007 (UTC)
Assessment of Harding's claims
I removed the following sentence:
In particular, her assertion that men and women produce fundamentally different scientific truths is considered to be nonsense by mainstream scientists.[1]
Harding doesn't actually make this claim (or, if she does, you'll have to show me the citation! Her positions on gender, race etc are far more subtle than this.) Furthermore, a single paragraph on Harding by a mathematician in the AMS notices in no way proves that "mainstream scientists" as a group think any such thing.
