From Daniel Hackett, London, UK
Your special report on patriarchy goes some good way towards raising the profile of science in what appears to have been the province of social science (21 April, p 34). How far the magazine has come! Gendering pressure is administered in patriarchal societies through households even before infants are socialised. All, including mothers, need to recognise their gender biases: these are systemic in our societies, despite all we have legally in place.
