Comment on We gotta be more encouraging
YiddishMcSquidish@lemmy.today 13 hours agoNo no no you don’t understand, lobsters get a massive jolt of oxytocin after fighting cause men are supposed to fight! Or whatever the fuck Xanax Peterson was going on about.

Here is the entire premise boiled-down:
“It’s totally natural and normal to have an upper-class telling you what to do and lording over you, in fact class division is the most normal thing in the world because lobsters do stuff that looks kind of like it, if it bothers you, you’re just not testosteroning hard enough.”

Love that testosterone argument those idiots bring up all the time. Like I got the shit coming out my ears! I’m not like styro pyro high, but I went bald in my twenties and have irritating hair in my INNER ear! And despite being lazy AF I’m still fairly well built. I would gladly give up half of my test to whoever wants it. Being irrationally angry about people driving around with their brights on is definitely not a fun pass time.

As with so many things about biological chemistry, the reality is so much more complicated than “MOAR TESTOSTERONE MEAN MORE MAN” and having any kind of hormonal imbalance is far more likely to fuck with your entire internal health system and have opposite effects than the typical Andrew Tate follower could imagine.
Also, I got the Styro Pyro reference, I know he’s a bit of an odd fellow but I wonder if “intense obsession with death rays” is more a product of innate oddness or has anything to do with crazy high testosterone. Maybe we have an as-of-yet undiscovered “laser hormone” waiting to be studied.

“Laser hormone” is my new favorite two word concoction.
