Oddly enough this would probably lead to better health outcomes over their lifetimes, if they don't engage in risky masculine behaviour.
I don't mean to be rude here, but does that risky masculine behavior include trying to stop a rape or murder?
If you are going to get that conclusion perhaps you should also get the fewer-boys-will-rape-or-murder-in-the-first-place conclusion too.

What part did you not understand?What?
After the Virginia Tech murders, I remember hearing a commentator saying that in her opinion
i think that one's willingness to run into bullets fired from a weapon that didn't exist 100 years ago is a really poor measure of masculinity.
Valor perhaps?
man-created climate change.
Note the word some. Yeah, that's some reliable research! How is this proof that that's due to the phtalates, and not some random coincidence? There's been so many paradoxal reviews on this topic, I find it hard to believe this is the absolute truth.Swan had previously shown that some small boys and toddlers exposed to phthalates in the womb had subtle changes in the size and anatomy of their genitals.
true, but glass is heavy.
That's pretty laughworthy actually. I wouldn't take that seriously.
Phtalates are banned from being in any kind of food or whatever. So how the heck would a pregnant mother eat them?

child bearing women over the age of 50 give birth to children with Down's Syndrome. Notice the word 'some'? how is this not just random coincidence? [/more sarcasm]
child bearing women over 50 eh ? sure there are lots of those naturally occuring.
Chances of downs syndrome increases naturally in mothers over 35 anyway , so thats a bad example to use.
still more likely to happen than some plastic linked gential shrinkage

although it is mostly limited to Combat Arms
Marines stormed Iwo Jima over 60 years ago - does that give a measure? D-Day?
Also, in the American Civil war - thousands of Confederates charged, slowly, at the Union center at Gettysburg (1863) in the face of certain death. The Union also has as many examples of a "willingness to run into bullets".
That being said - I still see masculinity present in the modern fighting force, although it is mostly limited to Combat Arms - which was a discussion in the "Women in the Military" thread.
