In fact, I’ve tried to move away from the feminist empiricist method of drawing from theory, and ask questions with social meaning (Unger, 2006). LH: How do you mean? Don’t you think that rigorous, objective scientific research will naturally undermine these biased assumptions about women? RU: I think the type of questions you ask make a big difference…
