"what intrigues me is whether this Atrazine-induced endocrine disruption in frogs could be used to quell male violence. If researchers could find a way to inject a pinch of Atrazine to remove some of the "boy" in humans, we might have a less violent world."-Holyshit.

The increasing trend towards the criminalization of manhood is disturbing.

Ignoring for the moment the author's outright sexism, I think the real concern for men is the endocrine disruptor she describes. Atrazine is just one of several hundred that we have identified. Honestly, we have no idea how many there may be.

In frogs Atrazine can turn male frogs into either female frogs or sterilize them. Who knows what the long term effects on men are?

We already have half the sperm our fathers had. The source is even more chilling, if the rate of sperm decline continues unabated men worldwide will face fertility problems.

In another 100 years we wont even need to champion mens' rights because there wont be any men. So even if we manage to (somehow) win the gender war on the economic or political front, we're just going to lose on the ecological front.

WTF?!? She "W.Gifford-Jones MD" clearly has some mental issues. Who is her fucking editor and could a man post such hate toward women in the *Winnipeg Free Press?

Right... so according to her the fact that I have a Y chromosome makes me dumb, violent, and a sexual predator... And women are considered to be smarter... really? Where did she get her info? I thought people were generally supposed to be judged on an individual basis in free democratic society. I can't even come up with a cogent response to this article because I'm flabbergasted. That whole article is befuckeldly sexist.
