How often do we have to reinvent the wheel? How often do we have to relearn what our forefathers and foremothers knew in their waters, namely, the dangers of ungoverned male sexuality? The Ten Commandments were not brought down from Mount Sinai to curtail women, but to control men. Women seldom do physical harm to anyone, and the occasions of sexual abuse of children by females are as uncommon as tsunamis in the Arctic. But there are far too many men who are drawn to adolescent girls ever to take a risk with any unless they have undergone rigorous personal vetting of a kind that will probably exclude all but sexually-recipient gay males.
We clearly have forgotten what mankind knew as a fact until about three minutes ago. The history of war is largely a history of male brutality, while the history of the advance of humanity required male courage, male inventiveness, male innovation and male bonding. Testosterone is what turns men into soldiers, the same rogue endocrine that causes men to drive dangerously and pursue their careers to absurd levels of ambition, to reach into space, to exterminate the American Indians, to build cities, invent sewerage, cure disease and invent Zyklon B.
