male sex hormone generally refers to testosterone 

Which is why I responded with testosterone. You then pointed out that you were talking about the male sex hormone...it was weird. Read back.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

well you keep asserting it without providing anything to back up your case while i have backed up my argument with examples that so far you have not refuted

The only good examples that you have provided have been things that we already agree on, lol. The rest have been redundant questions for things I have already addressed but you can't understand. I think its pretty straight forward to think that there are women who produce 4 times the amount of testosterone than the average woman and that there are men who produce only a 5th of the amount of testosterone than the average man. A quick google search provides you with information pertaining exactly to what I am talking about.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol but why don't women instead of becoming women develop into men? you still haven't answered the question... yes i know that you think men and women are pretty much the same but i'm still asking you why the development goes in one direction rather than the other

hhhhahahahhahahahha....thank you for that. "We can't be cousins to chimps because they turned out so different than us, just look at them". This is what religious people say when scientists tell them that our DNA almost perfectly matches that of bonobos or chimps.

Now, you didn't say anything about chimps but my analogy constricts your arguement breathlessly since women progress into women and men progress into men with the same psychological behaviour and almost the same physiology. All this while women and men seem completely different than one another. You don't seem to understand this or even want to. Why is that? Read a book.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

yes yes but your claim is that they are not linked in the way that i have proposed... i'm asking you to back up your assertion

That was in reference to the topic change in which you misrepresented me saying they are simply both linked. All it takes is to read back. You asserted that I was talking about the physiology of people which you then used as an example to support your arguement. But in reality I was talking about the psychology. Just because they are linked does not mean you can just apply my psychology arguement to your physiological one to try to make me look wrong.

----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

lol but i never said that they were the same, what i said is that both are linked so differences in one also results in differences in the other

meaning that since men and women are different in terms of physique these differences also show clear differences in terms of behavior such as men being more aggressive and stronger due to the effect of having significantly larger quantities of testosterone in their bodies

Well actually no, that's based off incomplete data. Studies show that aggression actually raises with testosterone, not because of it. I wouldn't assume that since testosterone has physical effects and mental as well that testosterone connects the two. Evolutionary biology claims that the aggression is useful in survival and procreation, but nowhere in studies would it say that all people with testosterone are aggressive. Just because testosterone is there doesn't mean that the body uses it as much. But just because the body doesn't use it as much doesn't necessarily mean that the brain won't feel the effects of testosterone. So if physiology and psychology were linked like you say they are then wouldn't all people with large levels of testosterone (almost all men) automatically be aggressive since it's the brain that controls the chemical release? Wouldn't that make the video right?

So yeah, I think this is more of a random outcome than a rule. Testosterone will support larger muscles and aggressive behavior but that does not link physiology and psychology. Just because fire has an effect on paper and plactic doesn't mean that paper and plastic are linked.
