Nice strawman but the article has nothing to do with equal rights.
The conclusion we can find is declining testosterone levels should be further studied since liberal men tend to be less intelligent, more mentally ill, and less masculine than conservative men. All of these are linked to testosterone.
It absolutely does. Look up "Roe V Wade" since you've apparently never heard of it
Gonna need a citation on that cuz there's plenty of evidence that higher education is correlated with left-leaning views. Or are you about to try to discredit higher education itself? Sounds like something someone really, really smart would do....
Where is roe vs wade mentioned in the article? Also Roe wasn't about equal rights. It was about privacy.
Well thanks for proving my point. Education isnβt intelligence. The two are not the same.

Carl (2014) analysed data from the U.S. General Social Survey (GSS), and found that individuals who identify as Republican have slightly higher verbal intelligence than those who identify as Democrat
That's a bold bold statement. I would love to see how you back that up.
To add, Testosterone is not necessarily a miracle hormone with no side affects
It is very well known that higher test can result in aggressive tendencies... Not to mention the physical health risks.
Here's literally the first study I found online which shows and increasing Test in males can lead to physical and emotional child abuse.
From OP's study:
This obviously shows that Test was enough of an emotional push to get weekly affiliated Dems to switch. It likely has nothing to do with increased cognitive abilities.
