Today in Biological Determinism: The cover of the June/July issue of Esquire, the "How to Be a Man" issue, featuring "An Owner's Manual: Your Brain, Your Heart, Your Balls."
Note that the equations boil down to: Intellect = Brain, Emotion = Heart, Body/Masculinity = Balls.
And although my first reaction was that the calculation marginalized trans men, it's no great shakes for cis men who have lost their testicles to injury or disease, either.
