"Former APA President Diane F. Halpern, co-author of the article "The Science of Sex Differences in Mathematics and Science" that Fine criticizes in "Delusions of Gender," reviewed the book and concluded that it was "strongest in exposing research conclusions that are closer to fiction than science...[but] weakest in failing to also point out differences that are supported by a body of carefully conducted and well-replicated research", noting that Fine largely ignores the latter body of research.Stanford neurobiologist Ben Barres stated in a review for the Public Library of Science Biology that Delusions of Gender "should be required reading for every neurobiology student, if not every human being."
