Indeed. Social categories generally. "Scientific" approaches (EP or otherwise) have a long tradition of trying to reify all kinds of social categories (which very destructive social consequences).

I think that it is the responsibility of fields such as EP to critically reflect on such practices and histories, and work hard to conceptually clean up their act. Perhaps EP can take inspiration from how social psychology is benefiting as a science from internal critique.

The EPs I follow won't even take a moment to comment on or attempt to check the obvious misconceptions and racism/sexism of their followers let alone engage in a serious reflection of the state of the field.

Yep! Also to be honest some fields do get bad PR, like say climate change research, but those scientists do indeed try very hard to deal with it by reaching out with appropriate scicom. I haven't seen many/any EPs deal with their media/pop image at all.

I think that's "hardwired" into bros.

I think the rudest thing you could say to an EP bro is that their broness was definitely socio-cultural in origin :)

In my experience they attribute all negative views of them to people who don't fully believe in evolution. Or who are uncomfortable with its implications.
