The Feminization of Nature

[James Redford]

Below is the Emmy Award-winning BBC Horizon documentary on environmental estrogens and xenoestrogens (such as para-nonylphenol and tert-octylphenol, among many other chemicals), written and produced by Deborah Cadbury. It deals with the dramatically reduced human sperm counts around the world and the greatly increased feminization of males (of both humans and other animals) which are caused by such estrogenic compounds in the environment.

At the below URLs is also contained this film, but apparently this video uses a different encoding, as I wasn't able to get it to play very well:

I especially highly recommend that everyone download the 1993 BBC Horizon documentary "The Estrogen Effect: Assault on the Male" from the below URL, as this video is not available from file-sharing networks and is only available for sale from one place at very high prices. It is an excellent documentary.

Thats true i guess, statistically worldwide more girls are being born than boys.

[akston]

Girls are nice - but it would be problematic if there were no guys around. Can you imagine the run on doily futures? 

[TruthHunter]

Feminism is biting itself in the butt. Feminists have been raising their sons for years to be more feminine thinking that was what the world needed, but guess what? Women don't want girly men no matter what the feminists want you to think. Women still want real men who are strong and loaded with testosterone. They don't want to marry a pansy even if he has money. If a woman wanted to marry another girl, she'd become a lesbian. That's why "nice" guys never get the women.

First off dont take the entire blame on feminism and blame the fathers whom are not involved in their childrens life, or the fathers who leave their families. Therefore leaving the women to raise the children, ifboys dont see a father example in a family, they might have a bigger chance of being a "wussy". Also the media is too blame. Thats why there are so many lesbians and gays everywhere its like a social reengineering of people or something like that. I still think a woman would marry a pansy with money, and i know plenty of nice guys who got the girl. But the thing about nice guys is that they have to wait awhile until the right one comes along.

Great info and thanks for posting. This is becoming a major epidemic when a good portion of males are getting breast reduction. I have a mild case of gynecomastia caused by a lifetime of exposure to these feminizing chemicals.
