Summary

Colin Wright is an Evolutionary Biologist and the Managing Editor at Quillette.

The debate around gender and sex differences has taken longer to work out than Jordan Peterson's rehab. We're nearly at the end of 2020 and what constitutes a man and a woman are still being discussed. Hopefully Colin can shed some light on this.
