El presente trabajo pretende abordar la siguiente pregunta-problema, referida a las metáforas de género, la cual reza: ¿se utilizan en el discurso médico científico metáforas de género que ratifican y profundizan las concepciones de género ya existentes en la sociocultura o, en realidad, se trata de proposiciones científicas?El objetivo principal del mismo fue elucidar si las metáforas de género del lenguaje médico-científico resultan permisibles y enriquecedoras o si producen ambigüedad y equivocidad en las creencias con respecto a los estereotipos de género. También nos planteamos objetivos específicos tales como el de reconocer el significado de “metáfora de género” como así también, el de identificar si las metáforas de género son construcciones “originales” de los científicos o si, por el contrario, ya se encuentran instaladas en la socio- cultura, a la que los mismos científicos pertenecen.Por último, y con el fin de acercarnos a los objetivos específicos mencionados, decidimos centrarnos en las siguientes actividades: una consistió en describir cuáles son los referentes cuando nos referimos a metáfora de género y, por otro lado, se intentó comparar los contenidos involucrados en las metáforas de género construidas por los científicos, con aquellos que luego encontramos en la socio- cultura, ambas de acuerdo con el texto de Harding (1993), Ciencia y Feminismo.
