A fascinating study has found that sniffing female tears significantly reduced male aggression and decreased activity in aggression-related brain networks. It’s suggested that the effect, which is caused by chemical signals in tears and is also seen in rodents, serves a protective function.
Well not to get dark. But if theres a domestic issue and man is abusing a woman to the point she is crying… And then the man calms down once she starts crying… Or maybe there’s a really stressful situation and both partners are frustrated and the woman crys and the man some how bucks up - Maybe - I dunno. Weirder shit has been done. I’m not trying to say woman weak and do a cry. I dunno I’m not a tear doctor
I’m just not buying the whole thing given the percentage of abusive husbands who kill their wives. (Not arguing with you in particular)
They did say 44%
I also bet they didn’t study whether some men get accustomed to it over time after causing women to cry over and over. Or the extent of correlation between men on the low end of the curve and abusers.
Or if there was actually a chemical difference let alone one that humans could detect.
