As an aside, not in her book, I note that social gender categories often follow linguistic gender categories. Linguistic gender is the way that words are tied together by categorising the things they represent, thus nouns are tied to pronouns by gender, and both are tied to adjectives in many European languages. The language of the Beaker People was a variant of Proto-Indo-European, which had two linguistic genders -- animate and inanimate. Perhaps the important divide for the Beaker people was into animate/singular and neuter/collective, rather than owned wealth or male/female?)

And I feel in the UK that we've particularly been very ideology-driven. This “following the science thing is not true at all, we've been following an ideology, and trying to shoehorn the science into that. There's always kind of worries about what's going to happen to science in a time of crisis, that we're depending on it so much. And that if there is, if there's any kind of nuance, or uncertainty around various facts and figures, then, you know, the public might feel uneasy about that, or anxious about that. And I think that's, I don't think that's the reason to pretend that the evidence is either more robust or more certain than we know it to be.
