First of all, I would like to thank you very much for your research and all your contributions. It is very nice to hear that compassion is now being researched with such commitment. But now I wonder whether this supposedly female or female-capable motivation can also have a negative impact. As a young man, I read a lot about how supposedly feminine behavior lowers testosterone levels (e.g., when men take care of their children) and negative effects on their bodies were observed as a result. Accordingly, I wonder if you have also observed, or are aware of, negative effects on testosterone or other biological markers from compassion exercises. For a long time, this thought has prevented me from acting out my caring, supposedly feminine side.
