x + y
Book • 2020
In 'x + y', Eugenia Cheng uses insights from higher-dimensional mathematics to propose a new way of discussing gender, patriarchy, and sexism.
She introduces the concepts of 'ingressive' and 'congressive' behaviors to shift the focus from gender to character traits, aiming to create a more inclusive society.
The book offers a radical perspective on how to rethink gender and societal structures.
