Peat did not believe in the androgenic man?

His love of painting, art and poetry
His recommendation of progesterone
A preference for an introspective, reflective thoughtful life

I think it stemmed from his view of the flow of energy as the most important phenomenon in the universe.
As the most energy-demanding organ, he often talked about evolution leading (in a quasai-aristotelian way) to the development of big-brained creatures.
So, he seemed to value the brain most highly of all, but not in a "digital" sense, but because it could resonate with the flux of energy in the universe.

He did, in my interpretation and opinion. But to what extent. What if your condition has a reference range, and what if indication is all around and behind you.

@wester130 he thought we evolved from female-led agriculture and fruit gathering. It played a part but come on... the garden in Genesis is a metaphor, not literal. I don't buy evolution in general, so hunter-gatherer evolution is no more true than creationism.

Peat was old. He did old people stuff. When he was young (as well as later in life) he also was possibly more of a nerd/intelectuall/ scholar/bookworm(I mean none of those words with disrespect). It's likely the time he was born and upbringing, that lead to these preferences, not hormones.
His recommendation of progesterone
He seldomly recommended it to men, and when he did, it was recomended in low doses, often paired with DHEA. He has talked many times about the anti androgenic effects of progesterone.

This is androgenic.

He talked about it incessantly, at seemingly every opportunity.

@Corngold Sure he may of talked about the importance of endogenous progesterone in men but did he specifically recommended men to take substantial exogenous doses of it? Rarely in my opinion.

When he was younger he did forestry work and played sports! I think he had a good balance of masculine/feminine, if such a thing even exists.
