Women and fish

While I agree that promiscuous women are, indeed, bad for the environment, my skepticism comes from the fact that it is not all that uncommon for fish to not only display tendencies of the opposite sex, but it is frequently observed that they change sex in populations where one sex is severely lacking (like frogs and dinosaurs on island theme parks). Slaps, the PNAS paper is here. It seems like they did the best they could to mimic the situation (they used a whole damn lake and the concentrations of estrogen don't seem that unreasonably inflated). I think it's a reasonable concern and as politically viable for regulation as pesticides or fertilizer drainage into waterways. Especially considering how many women are taking an estrogen mimic of some form (my boss's wife is taking one as part of her breast cancer treatment - she's on some new clinical study - so it's not just limited to whores, although I attribute the greater percentage of it to them). Anyways, one of the few forms of government regulation I can get behind is the kind that helps preserve fish populations. And if it smacks down some whores in the process, well, booster!
