The real question is whether every field should have a 50:50 gender ratio, and the implications of achieving that.
In Equitopia, the government selects each person’s field at birth to ensure a balanced gender ratio in all professions.
@mitigatedchaos how about this sci-fi take on gendpol:
“Men are indeed worse than women in various ways, more antisocial, violent etc…
And we have egg-combining technology so we can make a Lesbian Utopia…
HOWEVER, we should still keep the population at approximately 50:50… For the long-term psychological benefits of romantic interaction, given most women are straight.”
You say this, but I already once did a fake nation writeup where they created a single-sex and it turned out terrible - not because they weren’t gay enough, but rather, because they embraced the worst aspects of both masculinity and femininity simultaneously. (And also, they would have been less bad off if they had just a few teaspoons of Feminism, but that wasn’t going to happen, for Reasons.)

Technically, this one arrived before the other one, so I think this is actually my first official anonhate.

I don’t have any confetti or anything up here, so you’ll just have to make do with this.
That’s not actually a real anon, by the way. It’s an Official Tumblr™ Plush Anon. The shipping is fucking ludicrous, though.

I’ve vaguely heard murmurings about a secular decline in testosterone levels, but imagined it was overhyped or at worst just a result of the obesity epidemic. @lambdaphagy and I had a chance to just scratch the surface of the literature, though, and it’s frankly alarming.
Total T dropped about 20%, bioavailable T dropped 50%, over 20 years from 1987-2004. The Finns aren’t exempt either. Cohorts were matched for BMI, and even if they weren’t, the effect size of obesity is off by almost an order of magnitude. Doubling BMI causes T to fall by less than half, and, mirabile dictu, American BMI has not doubled (yet, give it time.) Average BMI went from 25 in 1960 to 28 in 2000.
The speed of that T drop is just jaw-dropping. Obesity doesn’t help, but doesn’t explain this level of cratering. So: phytoestrogens, xenoestrogens, micropharmaceuticals in the water, behavioral effects? More work is required, but hit me up if you have any good intel.
Cold Take: Crime declined because we removed lead from the gasoline, lowering the amount of lead-induced brain damage.
Lukewarm Take: Crime declined because we allowed abortion, removing some of the worst-off potential people from being born and raised in substandard conditions.
Hot Take: Crime declined because we put drugs in the water supply and we’re all transgender autistics/neurodivergents now, even the women. (Especially the women.)

I was asked once “Why do you even want to have a girlfriend? What do you want to do with her? What do you want her to do?“
I replied “You know, the usual. You know?“
The guy who asked had a deep point to make, but I know he could not have answered this himself to his own satisfaction.
“Redundancy,” I answered. “Two mammals are more likely to reach task completion than one, as their failures are unlikely to overlap, significantly boosting performance as compared to one mammal.”
“The real girlfriend is the girlfriend that was inside you all along,” I answered. He rolled his eyes at my pre-mocking of his deep point.
“Vulnerability,” I answered. “Relationships are a cycle of mutually-increasing vulnerability, something that is dangerous in this world, and intimate physical contact builds bonding and trust, in addition to creating mutual vulnerability.” He was silent for a moment, but then opened his his mouth. “Well, *Actually” he says…
