Men That Catcall Women Have Tiny Raisin Balls (Says Science)

By Danielle de Wolfe

We’ve all known for quite some time that men who catcall women are utter morons, this is not news.

However, what is news is that we can now confirm that not only are they imbeciles but they also have small, raisin like testicles.

Because science is awesome.

The results of a new study that focused on the tiny balls of a load of very loud monkeys, found that being shouty and overcompensating in other biological areas means you can end up lacking in other traits.

According to Jacob Dunn of the University of Cambridge’s Division of Biological Anthropology:

In evolutionary terms, all males strive to have as many offspring as they can, but when it comes to reproduction you can’t have everything.

When males invest in large bodies, bright colors, or weaponry such as horns or long canines, they are unable to also invest in reproductive traits.

It may be that investment in developing a large vocal organ and roaring is so costly there is simply not enough energy left to invest in testes.

So just remember that the next time that you see an idiot shouting at a women or being a bully in a pub: Tiny. Balls.
