    This post seems to imply that progesterone is causative of emotions, thus a lack of logic.
    There is already a stereotype on women being unable to stay logic, because of hormones. Women have been fighting for decades for their right to access technical fields, because of this stereotype. Even today, there are controversies in big tech like Google and Meta about the place of women in computer engineering.

    I get your point, but please consider that the meaning of your post is ambiguous. I suspect that the other downvotes on the post are related to this ambiguity as well.
    There are people who were born with the feature of producing far more progesterone than testosterone, and they have no control over it.
    Said people may interpret your post as yet another boy’s club joke.




  • I’m deeply sorry to hear that. I have been in your shoes for five years straight. This is the first time I spend it in family since forever.
    What I would usually do, is to prepare a very nice movie, or a great videogame I kept aside for a special occasion, drink wine, eat chocolates, the whole heartwarming exercise.
    Other years, I would play a MMO and have a play/chat with strangers bored to death at their family gatherings.
    I guess Christmas Eve is about giving. So my advice is don’t give up on you, you deserve to have a good time, no matter what makes you feel warm.
