Everything is still blamed on hormones and periods and stuff, or just dismissed.
And a lot of things aren’t even studied in women, including many medications, because the hormonal cycle is “disruptive to the research” even though half the population experiences it, and men have their own hormone cycles.
I know so little about male hormone cycles even though I am a male. I feel like this should have been taught to me at some point but of course it hasn’t.
The information agebis stupid, all its really taught me is that I don’t know shit, and that it isn’t my fault because the bastards in power keep pushing dumbass misogyny, racism and bigotry.
(I assumed it was supposed to be “the Information Age is stupid”. Which is true. My phone also frequently doesn’t correct when I use a character in place of a space by accident, for some reason… very annoying.)
So they’re not necessarily about hormones but there’s a couple books I’ve listened to about, well, male bodies (I don’t have one so I find it interesting). Worth listening to, imho.
The second is a book mostly about how penis things go wrong, testicular torsion, various kinds of erectile dysfunction and how they get fixed and stuff, it isn’t strictly informational, more like case studies that have been anonymized. It’s called Why Men Fake it, the totally unexpected truth about men and sex by Abraham Morgentaler
Both of these are good not super scientific explorations of things you may want to know, but don’t. I learned a lot and enjoyed the process.
It’s not really so much better now, tbh…

You think we can reroll our spawn realm?

The first is Why is the Penis Shaped Like That? and other reflections on being human by Jesse Bering. It’s a sort of lighthearted approach to male bodies and other weird quirks of being alive, written by, iirc, a gay humor columnist.

Interesting, I like to read so I’ll keep my eye out when I go to the book store next, or the internet, might not be in a store here in the south.
