How can you just ignore hundreds of years of human history? Infanticide as population control, birth control, and societal engineering is a well-established human tradition, and continues today. Of course, these days we've made it a bit more palatable by being able to kill the baby before it's born instead of after.

personally, i think it isn't a simple cause and effect thing with violence and testosterone, the cause and effect is sex and testosterone. the fact that women are so undersexed by comparison is what causes the violence. sexual frustration is the real issue.
think about it, gay men are really nice usually, in fact "gay" is actually a word for being happy and nice. they have all the testosterone straight men have but they also have partners with equally high sex drives.
then there's the hippies, i hardly think it's a co-incidence that all that peace stuff went hand in hand with the free love stuff.
if anything, we need more testosterone, not less.

Yes, infanticide has an ancient lineage, but usually singly, not as a group effort, and usually due to reasons of lack of food, and certainly not publicized!

women HAVE to be undersexed because they are not here to fulfil mans needs - they are here to nurture the next generation of people-
that is their nature-intended purpose
I think you misread there. It seems that the Salvation Army and the pastor are actually latecomers, not trying to get other ways for the women to end the wars, instead of killing the babies (which, for some reason, makes me think of Obama's (supposedly) proposed full-term abortion idea).

smoking pot lowers testosterone production. i don't see lower crime rates among pot smokers. I see quite the opposite.
