re: testosterone and agression: psychotic, violent, behavior patterns are predominately male behaviors. Also, a direct correlation between excess testosterne levels and habitual rapists exists (habitual vs "date-rape" which I believe is primarily a cultural issue). re: crying: many men can reach the point of almost crying but can't seem to quite make it over some unknown threshold. Under estrogen that threshold is breached and there is significant evidence to indicate that it is breached because of new nuero-pathways being formed via estrogen receptor site bonding. re: gender: there are NO(none, zero) cases of a psychologist EVER successfully changing a person's gender identity (something which forms in the child at the age of 1.5 to 2 years), though there are THREE cases of successful transsexual surgery each DAY in the U.S.A. -- {ucbvax,decvax,ihnp4}!sun!sunny (Ms. Sunny Kirsten)

I thought this was cute. While discussing an ardorous bike ride with a friend we were discussing what pushes us past "intelligent" limits. We soon were refering to typical aggressive male traits and he said, "Ah, the sickness that is dickness." Peter B
