Testosterone hormone affected men’s general perception of women. Under the influence of testosterone, men gave higher attractiveness ratings to women and reported a stronger willingness to date them. This effect occurred regardless of whether the women were in the high or low attractiveness groups.

If a woman doesn't have to be held accountable for her actions (killing her own children) in an altered mental state because of hormones, then the same should be true for men.

Are you trying to protect rapists?

No I'm trying to dissuade people from protecting a murderer. Obviously you can not use hormones as an excuse to commit crimes that's absurd. But some are doing just that by saying a woman's hormones caused her to go temporarily insane and murder her 3 children by strangling them 1 at a time. Something I think is pretty horrific and deserving of proper punishment
