Another guy who doesn’t comprehend what the article states.

CLIFFS
Article talks about chronic, long term stress having a negative impact on reproduction
Fool runs with it, claiming it is relevant to acute stress from rape.
Other fools join in and act like...well fools.

Do stop trying to be so deceptive by twisting people's words into things they didn't say.
You've been caught and you won't catch me making a hasty comment to you again as I'm forearmed now and I know to read everything you write in the future much more carefully.

The article states that it suppresses ovulation and does NOT state that stress doesn’t affect on a short term basis, it just emphasizes chronic.

You are arrogant and pompass towards the people on this board while trying desperately to prove akin wrong. He did not speak well but he’s not wrong, you are.

You must be referring to yourself.

Did you not understand the word "acutely"???

The article deals with chronic and acute stress.

And stress due to rape is acute stress, isn't it?

Read it again:

"In humans, chronic stress can lead to a drop in sex drive as well as a drop in fertility. [...] Kirby showed that acutely stressed rats showed increased RFRP levels for several hours, but that levels returned to normal by the next day. Chronically stressed rats, however, were left with longer-term elevations of RFRP levels in the dorsomedial hypothalamus area of the brain, and suppression of activity in the reproductive axis - the hypothalamus-pituitary-gonadal hormone cascade"

"It's very adaptive to not be wasting resources on reproduction during times of acute stress, to just shut down reproduction for 24 hours or so until the stress is gone," said co-author Daniela Kaufer, a UC Berkeley assistant professor of integrative biology who looks at how stress affects molecular processes in the brain."

Fool runs with it, claiming it is not relevant to acute stress from rape. Other fools join in and act like...well fools.

They sure do.
