Not Testostcerone. Soooo....how exactly could MORE estrogen be making women more <i>masculine?</i> Hmmm? She doesn't even have the basics of her argument down. On the Other Hand: All this free floating estrogen is causing CANCER rates to go up, especially breast cancer. Corporate America wants to raise awareness about Breast cancer, not DO anything about it, like limit the production of plastics, or use of pesticides. I find ot extremely telling that once a woman HAS breast cancer, she is told to avoid plastics (esp. for storing or eating food) and go Organic, and steer clear of pesticides in the home. If that is good advice when you HAVE cancer, seems like those might be good ways to AVOID cancer too! (Same thing with dogfood: when your dog becomes gravely ill, make homemade food for him to prolong his life. But until then: industrial waste for Fido! For God's Sake don't try to make real food for your dog; even though you feed yourself and your children, the dog's dietary needs are just too complex for you to figure out!(snark)) The REALLY confusing thing for me in this, is that plastics and factory farms and perticides and even the bc pill all cause a lot of real (and FAKE) estrogen to be in the environment.

Damn communist feminists..ruining the world for innocent polar bears everywhere! I'm sure that all these disorders are only caused by slutty feminists not doing Gods work by having twenty kids..not big corporations with incredibly lax environmental standards.

This is ludicrous. Furthermore, this is exactly the kind of thinking that makes me hate religion so much. I'm sure it's obvious to every sane person that the gender revolution was caused by the increased education of women, and living standards generally; not satan in the form of saran wrap.
