I comment on Eagly and Wood's biosocial constructionist evolutionary theory (2011; DOI: 10.1007/s11199-011-9949-9). Although this gender feminist theory allows for evolved physical differences between men and women and evolved psychological similarities for men and women, it fails to consider evolutionary accounts of psychological sex differences. I hypothesize that gender feminists' reluctance to acknowledge that evolution has left different fingerprints on men's and women's bodies and brains stems from two common misunderstandings of evolutionary psychology: the myth of immutability and the naturalistic fallacy. I conclude that although evolutionary psychology is eminently compatible with equity feminism, evolutionary psychology and feminist psychology will conflict as long as the latter adheres to gender feminism and its unwillingness to acknowledge the evidence for evolved psychological sex differences. Gender feminism's dualistic view of evolution hinders the search for and understanding of the proximate and ultimate causes of inequality. Feminist psychology needs to evolve by embracing equity feminism, which has no a priori stance on the origin or existence of differences between the sexes.
我对伊格利和伍德的生物社会建构主义进化理论（2011年；数字对象标识符：10.1007/s11199-011-9949-9）进行评论。尽管这种性别女权主义理论承认男性和女性之间存在进化而来的生理差异，以及男性和女性之间存在进化而来的心理相似性，但它没有考虑心理性别差异的进化解释。我推测，性别女权主义者不愿承认进化在男性和女性的身体及大脑上留下了不同的印记，源于对进化心理学的两个常见误解：不可改变的神话和自然主义谬误。我得出结论，尽管进化心理学与平等女权主义完全兼容，但只要女权主义心理学坚持性别女权主义及其不愿承认进化而来的心理性别差异的证据，进化心理学和女权主义心理学就会产生冲突。性别女权主义的二元进化观阻碍了对不平等的直接和根本原因的探索与理解。女权主义心理学需要通过接纳平等女权主义来发展，平等女权主义对男女之间差异的起源或存在没有先验立场。
