Abstract
Coredelia Fine’s book about Testosterone Rex; Myths of Sex, Scient and Society is reflected
here in this essay. Here the author is speculated to be sharpening her concepts and using her
words like a knife to open up the carcass or the so-called “Testosterone Rex.” It is nothing
but the large-scale assumptions and preconceived ideas about men and women
characteristics. There is a lot of biased thought process in the world which makes people of
these different sexes act and behaves differently. As per author, there is no difference, and we
are conditioned superficially to behave differently. She goes deep in the subject and takes
pleasure in researching very action and thought process and finds out the real beast which is
behind all such preconceived notions in the human society.

Introduction
The introduction to the essay showcases the reader the idea of the novel it follows clearly.
The reader is an optimistic one and has goodwill to be having clear and transparency in her
ideation and showcase of ideas using wit and humor along with feminism approach to
developing complex subjects (Ditum, 2018). Readers can well understand by the introduction
to the essay that people can get enlightened and enhance themselves with the help of
knowledge. Testosterone Rex is an essay where introduction showcases a quote “We should
all be feminists” by Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie. It showcases the clear-cut approach for the
novel in a small sentence. The introduction gave me a clear idea about the novel (Schudson &
Chadwick, 2017).
Interesting Point
The idea of Testosterone Rex itself made my interest grow for this novel. The author
showcases her target directly when she uses the name. She also showcases the pervasive,
familiar, powerful and plausible story idea related to sex and society. The fact that there
exists inequality among sexes is a naturally observed phenomenon and is not a cultural one.
So, testosterone gives male members of the society a different look and appearance than their
female counterparts (Paul, 2018). It is the natural physical characteristics which are different
in this relation. Here it is not normal and complete superficial to consider that the
characteristics of being a great leader or showcase horniness or violence are a dominant
criterion only for men.
Neuroscientists, Simon Baron-Cohen, has showcased in his creation “The Alien to Fine’s
Ripley” that hormone is a special substance (Rumble, 2018). It is responsible for inducing in
a human being all the qualities which are adaptive, and humans are fortunate to be able to
create large among of such characteristics (Allenandunwin, 2018). The justification is indeed
