I’m sure my YouTube feed is selection bias, but the farm and ranch videos feature manly men and feminine women; my urban-based videos trend toward feminine men and manly women.

State wiretapping law precedes federal wiretapping law.

Insert the provisions.

As the Internet and electronic records make it easier to get dirt on people, more people nark. Narking to Mr. Big is a female trait, and lots of otherwise normal women do it. Not all male narks are effeminate, not all effeminate males are narks, but they go together.

You look around you at the modern young male, and you note an incredible amount of both physical and behavioral effeminacy. Why, do you suppose that is?

I suspect that it’s because they’ve been exposed to enough of those estrogen compounds to seriously warp their physical and behavioral development, resulting in the effects we see around us today with all the manchildren. You don’t get the right developmental behavioral cues in the chemistry, it’s not surprising that these poor bastards are behaving more like teenage girls than they are adult men.

I’d also lay long odds on this being correlated with the urban/rural divide, as well. You’re inundated with that crap in urban environments, while out in the suburbs and countryside, there’s a lot less of it.

And, naturally, the differences in politics and physical expression are going to flow out of these things. I’d wager that this study would probably find that the majority of pre-modern men who appeared more masculine would likely also be termed “conservative” in facial features, regardless of their politics.

I believe that a lot of the shift in politics over the last few generations is probably linked to this massive hormonal pollution of the environment, and I’ll lay you long odds that in a few generations, the conventional wisdom is going to rank what we’re doing with them right up there with the Roman’s use of lead in everything as a civilization-wide stupidity.

Give you an idea of how bad it is–Even in “pristine” mountain lakes in the North Cascades, the biologists are finding evidence of these hormones and chemicals being high enough to warp the development of embryonic fish immersed in those clear, cold lakes up in the high country. One of them was telling me that he could tell from testing the water how many women on birth control had been in the watershed over the past year or so…
