This article takes for granted that science should be apolitical, and that truths can be separated from the values of those who seek them out.

I understood that it is a controversial take in philosophy of sc.
The authors seem unaware of the controversy, also IMO their views are not well informed.

I look forward to you citing some peer reviewed biology paper by an actual biologist that describes this view of the sexes. Good luck.

Yes, unfortunately physical copies of these books are expensive (as academic books often are). But the digital version is free - and very good quality (well typeset, searchable, navigable, etc.).
