New "Cuddle Spray," Makes Men More Effeminate

Mad scientists in German and Finland have created a nasal spray that make men exhibit lady-like characteristics, like empathy and the urge to spend money on footwear. Seriously, at least about the first part.
By adding the hormone Oxytocin to nasal spray, the scientists found that men felt sadder when they were shown pictures of sad puppies and hurt babies, compared to another group of men who'd had a placebo sprayed up their noses. Empathy, obviously, is a womanish trait, and so the spray is being credited with making men more feminine. It has already been dubbed the "cuddle spray."
The group that was exposed to the placebo also felt like they were 'breathing more freely' and able to 'enjoy the air.' But that's likely because they hadn't had hormones nasally injected. Neither group responded favorably to Antonio Banderas acting like an oddly fey bumblebee.

This should be prescribed to any and all jerks in the world. Gonna make the world a better place.
Yay, let's make normal human male traits a disease! Remember, guys, women call the shots and are the standard by which human behavior is to be judged.
Well, I'm a guy and I think the majority of men as jackasses - a combination of hormones and bad parenting, I think. Not much can be done about the parenting, so...
Men are jackasses by design. This would be a sad world if we were all women.
This is morally and ethically wrong. These "scientists" should be round up and shot.
To think in a world with cancer and HIV and more important shit to worry about some jackasses are making "pussy spray".
If this is released I'd see no difference between this drug being legal than date rape drugs being legal.
You know women would abuse this, your about to get settled in with the boys to watch the Rugby game, she brings you a beer spiked with this shit, next thing you know your watching Top Gun or some other chick flick crying in her lap like a puppy!
Science has finally gone too far!
Ok to start off, the wording used in this article is absolutely terrible. Oxytocin can raise levels of trust and affection and increase empathy, all helpful qualities in a relationship. They should not be referred to as "feminine qualities"
Shit, I'm a woman, and I could use an oxytocin boost now and then. And those of you who think this is research that's being done INSTEAD OF cancer/HIV/etc research have no idea how science works.
Whoa, hold on there Jason... Top Gun is a chick flick? No movie with a '57 Porsche Speedster, an '85 Kawasaki Ninja, and a bunch of F14s could be a chick flick.
Now you say something
