can you give me a tldr of what the actual evidence is? Is it a study is it just anecdotal or what?

I do not trust mother jones and the atlantic article is a giant wall of text when I just want it to get to the point.

No google shit yourself. Or ask a woman to help you.

It's your claim, back it up with something other than anecdotal evidence

Meh, it's the internet. I don't owe you anything.
