Not sure, but perhaps statements like "Comments like these are so hilariously idiotic. Props for making me guffaw out loud." are why people downvote. Personally I think that OP contributed to the conversation so I wouldn't have downvoted (if I could), but maybe some people did because of that.

Same. He's saying the emperor has no clothes, with respect to the thread, which kicked off with this comment:
> To me this sounds like the mother's body is trying to "nudge" the odds towards a daughter after several sons, but sometimes the process "fails" and produces an effeminate male instead - a gay son.
I find it disturbing that his comment has been flagged and removed. All he did was call out some baseless extrapolation. How did "effeminacy" even enter the conversation?
The original "study" doesn't provide any evidential basis for any of this speculation. Its only data point is the supposed reporting by study participants that they have had more than zero same sex encounters in their life. How does that account for the thesis that a mother's body is generating effeminate homosexual males in a failed bid to generate daughters???
