Hormones
Ah testoterone, the substance that makes men men. Chemical source of masculinity, spring of the libido, cause of criminality and passion. Give it to women and they instantly become manly. Give nothing to women and pretend its testosterone and they become manly.
Testosterone is indeed potent stuff but only, much like gods, due to the force of culturally established presumption. The power of the double blind test when a hopeful presumption to support prejudice needs tearing apart, meanwhile, has never seemed greater.
