Because you're a big loving baby who failed to live up to some bullshit societal pressure about "being a real man," and then you found out that you can actually just buy your way into it? I dunno.

There's a whole, if relatively small, wing of conspiracy thought dedicated to the evils of plastic and how it's turning us all gay and whatnot. They claim that even lightly handling plastics fill us with "feminizing hormones", pointing to studies that kinda, sorta suggest they can affect hormone levels in mice. Sometimes. A lot of the time they don't even appeal to any outside evidence, because Big Pharma has compromised the whole system.

So, yes, this person's thesis is probably "a woman using a dildo has poisoned her pussy for the rest of her life, so all of her male children will be so flooded with feminizing hormones that their dicks will be small and they'll wind up gay." These people aren't big on science, just the totally-agreed-upon-by-everyone observation that men today are wimps but were strong and manly in the past, and something nefarious needs to be behind it.

I used to know a guy that thought poo poo like that in college. He claimed that gay people didn't exist before the 1960's. He's a roboticist now.

The "in the old day men were manly, unlike today" is pretty hilarious when you look at male fashion from say, the founding of this country.

Tights and wigs and lace and poo poo. And if you're a boy you wore a dress until you were toilet trained because pants are expensive.

When I was a kid, another kid who went to my school (that I didn't really know too well) was killed when he fell out of the back of a pickup truck. He did not turn out fine.

In retrospect, yeah that's what he probably meant. He just brought this up over drinks with a study group, out of the blue, as if we were supposed to marvel at his big brain for finally "figuring it out".

I just find it amusing how all of this "feminizing" stuff is completely divorced from reality. I saw someone freaking out on Twitter just a couple of days ago, saying that the Impossible Whopper has hundreds of times more estrogen in it than hormone treatments do. If you could just grow titties by eating a burger, I have a few friends that would be loving thrilled.

I had toys with spring-loaded missiles that went off during the night in my bedroom and scared the poo poo out of me a couple times. Where's my parade?

Men being austere and emotionless and expected to not care about fashion is a pretty recent phenomena. The machoest of manly men in ages past took pride in dressing up super pretty and absolutely loved crying manly tears and embracing and all sorts of things (taking young boys as lovers), and there wasn't this weird stigma where female platonic friends can show physical affection and compliment each others' shoes and poo poo where, for men, that's not ok.

Third genderism is a more modern cultural movement and wasn't as much of a thing in the past as default, though there are plenty of examples. Heracles calling the argonauts a bunch of sissies because they were laying around banging women instead of adventuring and banging boys is a historical standard.

The normalization of theater gay over heroic gay is a cultural shift but both have always been with us. Salacious biting the bigter peach stuff from ancient china is swishy as hell but I imagine he'd anachronisticly blame that on soy consumption.

Roman culture didn't have gay/straight like we do either. So long as it was your dick going into a hole of any type, you were masculine. If you got penetrated, you were feminine. So bang bros had a whole other context back then.

Pikabooze!
Certain plastics contained estrogen-related chemicals. See phtalates. Less so BPA, which was popularly removed from many bottles ten years ago.

LDPE is worse than HDPE, for example, but both can still leech, particularly at higher temperatures. Take bottled water, put it in the truck of your car for a year, see what it tastes like. The bottles have an expiration date for a reason.

Polypropylene is generally considered safe.

Some of these chemicals are actually worse in lower quantities, and many leech into fat cells moreso than water. That means meat on styrofoam is potentially going to transfer more than the bottled water.

Of course none of this matters since aluminum antiperspirant will kill everyone.


(Sorry, phone plus office hours, so not organized. But yeah most people aren't going to be affected.)
