"The exact measurements of a “large” or “small” testicle were not made clear in the study."

OK, even if one (brain size not made clear) were to consider pursuing the study, the parameters were not well defined, which makes the data from this totally wacky study whacked.

Better question is who financed this study?

One guy tried, but he was castrated. So now he's the best sort of father, but he can't have kids.

Sounds like a simple case of using a government study grant to rationalize a personal problem. :?

That's funny, Cliff.

    “Mothers definitely have more of an impact on child development, but fathers are also important and their role is understudied,” said Rilling.

So they measure the size of a guys balls, and in the same breath determine how much like a mother he will be? :shock: Since the role of fatherhood is not the same as the role of motherhood, so you can't study the father's "impact on child development" (whatever that means), or determine whether a guy is a good father, by applying the same standard to him.

Had they really meant to study the role of fathers, first they should have stated what they perceive the father's role to be.

So what the study really shows is that if your brain has been shrunk to fit modern shibboleths, you are no longer able to see that there are hardwired differences between men and women. The next study will be to advise the government practitioners of health care on how to make men better mothers. Castration is the ultimate goal, though not physically, of course.
