It's not unreasonable to assume it has some adverse effects in women too. Maybe it's partly a factor in increasing weight, promiscuity, all this political hysteria over trivial shit, breast cancer, etc. Perhaps the most uncontroversial one would be the lowering age of puberty for girls; it used to be rare for their first period to be before 16-18, now it's not unheard of for 7-8 year olds and fairly normal around 12.

16-18

Um no... that's a huge exaggeration. 14 has always been a normal age to get a period, which is why premodern people married girls that were younger and started conceiving children at around that age. The average age to start menstruating is now 12. Yes more and more young girls are having periods sooner, but don't sandwhich that true point in with obviously made up "facts" like it being normal in the past for girls to not menstruate until the age of 18. That has never been normal. That is so beyond fucking retarded to believe that it is unreal. Jesus Christ man, pick up a damn book from time to time.
