Effect of endocrine disruptors on females?
-
You've seen articles that testosterone has dropped over the decades in men.
I got interested in that and wanted to dig into it, so I did a research project which is linked here - https://bioenergetic.forum/topic/470/testosterone-worldwide?_=1717461794467
From what I've seen, it's probably in large part due to prenatal exposure to endocrine disruptors which cause lasting damage to the developing child. The lowered adult testosterone is just a part of the damage done.
But females are exposed to these same endocrine disruptors. What is the female equivalent of that "testosterone has dropped 200 ng/dl over the last 30 years" story? What lasting damage happened to females in the last few generations?
I've seen studies that say prenatal stress generally produces a lower testosterone male, but the picture is more complicated in a female - some more masculinization often and in a defective way, maybe like PCOS.
I hear PCOS incidence is rising. I'd like detailed stats on that but can't find them. I would like to chart its growth and map its prevalence on the world map, same as I've done for testosterone levels. I would hypothesize that PCOS is highest in pesticide sprayed regions, same as I tentatively found with male low testosterone.
Endocrine disruptors can harm the masculinization of the brain in males, what have they done in females?

Idk about their health, but women in this generation have been getting hotter and hotter.
I think women are now the most attractive they’ve ever been at any point in history.
Slim waists, wide hips, highly voluptuous body with large breasts are common in women born after 1995. -
I think widespread use of hormonal birth control may prove to be a major confounder for this line of inquiry.

endometriosis and PCOS and very common now
borderline personality disorders and similar pathological behaviors also seem to be becoming more common in women
