Peat did not believe in the androgenic man?

@ThinPicking But then it's like your saying anything that effects hormones like testosterone is upstream.
So exercise increases hormones and therefore exercise is upstream because it effects a stream.
I know what you meant though. Fine fine
-
This is what people usually mean by upstream or downstream
I'm sorry I wrecked the thread.
-
This is also a stream

@Alomongerpete Obviously
In time there is life but no knowledge; outside time there is knowledge but no life

@wester130 said in 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
Your title question is about what he believed
But
Your text above is about who he was
So im unsure of what you are askingI comment to point out
Have you seen his subjects of a majority of his artwork?
Naked womenHe was a man who found beauty in women
Extremely “androgenic” although nothing to do with mass or hair etc
-
Well I guess Jacob was preferred by God to Esau. So there's that.

I envisioned Peat as a mythical autistic hermit. I kind of Yoda
I found out he was married for decades when he died and the image shattered. Still hard to imagine

Interesting... pretty sure if you listen to his radio shows someone asked if he was married and he said no. Maybe he just didn't want to reveal too much to complete strangers?

I assume to protect his wife

@Dedeluded Per my memory of the interviews...
Ray didn't like the concept of marriage, as a form of authoritarian ownership. He'd been with a woman together for many decades but I'm not sure to what extent it was a marriage, or something they thought of as such.
In another interview, Ray was asked what to do if a spouse died. After some grieving he said that one had to go "out to find a suitable replacement", which earned some laughs from the interviewers.
I tend to think he was a stone-cold guy who didn't feel the need to establish a legalized exclusivity of his woman. And not really putting her on a pedestal as The One and Only (if she were to die) at the same time.
I suppose it makes sense in the grander view of metabolism. Grieving for inappropriately long is almost a form of constipation.

@Rah1woot He was such an unusual person as you point out.
That's one of the things I liked about him. I didn't want to imagine him drinking a beer and pushing a mower across a lawn or doing "normal" stuff.
It could be he was going for a Yoda monk persona. A mythical guru
