this is one of the reasons why feminist anthropology is an important part of anthropology. feminist anthropologists are trying to change this by reading and citing women and pointing out when they see this happening, . if there were no feminists, there may continue to be more men than women teaching anthropology and more papers written by men being read.  men tend to cite each other, and they write about other men a lot of the time, so anthropology would be taught by mostly men and about mostly men.this would make it so most of our ideas about humans came just from men (less than half of the human population). feminist anthropologists are some of the people working to make sure this doesn’t happen.
