The feminization of men
Fellas I’m willing to run this gauntlet.
Regarding the feminization of males, I can confirm that as a lifelong music lister and creator, I am now a transgender woman. I do not recall having feelings of wanting to wear dresses, talk about my feelings, and drink appletinis prior to donning the cans around age 8, in order to listen to Metallica’s latest album. It is noteworthy that later CD purchases were often far less macho and included Ace of Base and Alanis Morissette, likely due to my rapidly progressing, toxin-induced feminization.
I enjoyed this.
Uhm, guys, the skin is not a plastic wrap but a organ; it absorbs substances. And while some can be bad for the skin (like, causing rash or cancer), some others can get into the blood stream this way. And some plastic softeners (of earpieces for example) are not allowed in most markets for this very reason.
Not about the article but about some of the comments here.
Clickbait! This is nothing news since the report isn’t publicly available. This is just the media working to keep you scared and reading.They have updated and included the article/paper 😊
This seems like a nothing burger. Plenty of things you shouldn’t ingest like BPA, plastic, and solder are perfectly benign when used to construct consumer electronics.
I’d be more interested to hear they found something that leeches through the skin being used to create the body of the headphones.
BPAs have been shown to absorbed through the skin. Headphones are increasingly worn for long, continuous periods. Unlike other plastic objects which are handled for shorter periods.
I’m not entirely convinced of the danger myself (tinnitus seems a bigger worry for headphone use to me), but I thought it was a matter worthy of further discussion.
