In the short-term, a thread for the discussion of an article about the effects of phthalates on male babies, both in terms of the scientific implications and in terms of the way the research is presented to play on cultural fears about gender. Hopefully could broaden out to discuss the biology of sex/gender, and the way research on similar topics is culturally deployed, in more detail.
