I found an article that is associated with a Scientific American video. The following is associated with video #2. There are 5 videos in total.
Over the past few centuries this process of misrepresentation of biology was, and still is, used to deny women rights and to justify legal and societal misogyny and inequity, to justify slavery, racialization, racism and to enforce multiple forms of discrimination and bias.
A little digging around got me all five videos... (about 15 minutes each)
Did you watch them all? HA!
