There is potentially negative evolutionary value for guys to have too much empathy with people whose heads they are trying to smash with an ax.

Women already knew this...why is this news? The more testosterone the less they give a flying %$^$^*&.

OTOH, it may mean that although the guy with more testosterone is less “empathetic” or “caring,” he is more protective, watchful, and willing to fight for what is his.

Who cares about empathy? Does it make you a better marksman?

"The researchers not only found that administration of testosterone leads to a significant reduction in mind reading"

So women really shouldn't expect us to read their minds, because the testosterone is blocking us.

Yup. Not my fault. It's MPS (Male Passivity Syndrome).

It is a myth that Viagra doesn't work for women.

It works just fine, but it doesn't solve their sexual problems.

For women it is rarely a matter of blood flow to the genitalia, it is mental.

They give them some testosterone and BLAMO, they are revved up and ready to go! But they also report bouts of violent thoughts, often for the first time in their life. They were quite shocked at just how violent these impulses were!

I laughed when I heard about this, especially when I found out that they are on about 1/10th of the testosterone dose that I experience EVERY DAY OF THE YEAR!

Welcome to a small glimpse inside our world ladies. Horny and violent!
