38. I have heard of "testosterone poisoning"

as being the cause for many things, from mass murder by guns to allowing the unnecessary wars to continue. I think it needs to be addressed instead of ignored or purposely brushed under the carpet. Since "the poison" is controlling our government, financial and religious institutions I doubt the majority (women are 51% of the US population) will get their time to shine and have equal representation in my lifetime. Several thousands of years of male dominance has gotten our planet to where it is now...not a pretty picture, is it?
