re: PH & gender
@erosdiscordia I get upset when my thinking feels muddy, too. (estrogen person here) I just don't get, like, aggressively upset. I could maybe see, some testosterone reason for being sick making T folks angry, though.
If a family gets hurt by a predator attack and half the adults go somewhere safer and half the adults get aggressive, you might have a better chance of someone surviving? So like, maybe it's less of a 'this exact reaction' thing than a 'a sex difference makes sense here' kinda thing.
Also, I think people say men are tough/have high pain tolerance because men really like to hear it. Maybe Prarie Home Companion got something right after all. 😛
Most testosterone folks don't need to be down to fuck after the incredible pain of childbirth, so like, there's maybe less of a strong need for that kind of pain tolerance with T? Just a thought.
I hope gibs feels better, though.
