    If that’s your perspective, is anyone ever responsible for anything? Or is it all just genetics and hormones

      What stupid take.

      If your hormones tell you to punch someone you should be reasonable enough not to do it.

      If your hormones make you not horny, you shouldn’t force yourself to have sex.

      Those are two totally different things.

        Can you name the punching hormone for me? My degree is in a more technical field, so I was under the impression that they regulated tissues and organs.

            One of the many hormones that both sexes produce?

            Guess that explains why the incidence of physical abuce, and divorce, is highest in lesbian couples.

              Wait, for real?

              It isn’t cis hetero men?

              I definitely wouldn’t have expected that one, but the social sciences are some of the farthest things from my training.

            Good try but also wrong. Testosterone is an anabolic that regulates muscle growth mood and other things.

            I have seen nothing scientific to indicate that there is a punching mechanism associated with it.

                That’s the thing. It doesn’t. You’re in control of What you do as a grown adult irrespective of your mood. Your mistaking yourself with toddlers who will get pissed off and throw punches.

                My God, the more I hear from you sad sons of bitches the more afraid for women out there that I am.

                You know, this sort of attitude is why women are consistently afraid of people that carry our gender markers. Grow the fuck up and learn to be an adult.

                Aside: If we were talking pheromones and not hormones then yes they would trigger specific behaviors in members of our species. However our species is not known to carry pheromones and after all of the years of biological research my suspicion is we would have discovered them if they existed.

                  OK? One can be reasonable enough to not punch people despite the punching hormone telling you to do it.

                    There is still no punching hormone. Hormones do not create any specific behavior.

                    Again, we call those pheromones, and we do not likely possess them.

                    In the end you throw hands only because you choose to.
