How does one even begin to have a hypothesis to even decide to test this? Why does one? Any answer feels like it would be morally questionable or involve a fetish of some kind.
Well not to get dark. But if theres a domestic issue and man is abusing a woman to the point she is crying... And then the man calms down once she starts crying... Or maybe there's a really stressful situation and both partners are frustrated and the woman crys and the man some how bucks up - Maybe - I dunno. Weirder shit has been done. I'm not trying to say woman weak and do a cry. I dunno I'm not a tear doctor
I'm just not buying the whole thing given the percentage of abusive husbands who kill their wives. (Not arguing with you in particular)
They did say 44%
I also bet they didn't study whether some men get accustomed to it over time after causing women to cry over and over. Or the extent of correlation between men on the low end of the curve and abusers.
Or if there was actually a chemical difference let alone one that humans could detect.
As for why, imagine if they could isolate the compound that reduces aggression. It could be really useful for de-escalating violent situations.
Just dust every major populated area with that every day.
MFW it turns out chem trails are real, and this is what they were all along... It's just aerosolized women's tears
Puts the whole "adrenochrome" conspiracy in a new light too.
Evaporators in car ac's
Literally my first thought after reading the title. Like, I'm sure there's a legit reason to have pursued testing this but it sure feels a little too on-the-nose.
Like, it would be one thing if they were doing a more general test on tears of a variety of people and their impact on others and then found this potential impact that led them to do a more specific study resulting in this. But to zero in specifically on adult woman tears without any known prior reason for it feels...odd.
