to think this won't give my husband tits?

[tithusband]

My H was about to go downstairs so I asked him to put my empty oestrogen gel bottle in the recycling.

He leapt back, and cried ' Aaargh! Aargh! I can't touch that! That is dangerous to me and the boys!' and ran down the stairs.
My sons says he has now told them they must never touch these bottles, not even if they get knocked onto the floor, as they are very dangerous for men and boys.

AIBU to think this is a compete over-reaction? There might be a small amount of trace oestrogen on the outside of the bottle, I guess, but such a teeny tiny amount as a one off is surely not going to make any man grow tits?

Surely he's more likely to get it on him touching you who has rubbed the oestrogen into your skin, than the outside of a clean bottle?

Is he prone to over reacting?

They are idiots lol

Is he the type who would never pick up a box of tampons, lest he should grow a vagina?

Does he drink tap water?

😂😂😂

"Accidentally" spill some on his laptop/golf clubs/car (change to whatever his prized possesion is).

It doesn't even need to be the actual gel as long as he thinks it is.

He's being ridiculous.
Sounds like he's been watching some idiots online who obsess about men having huge amounts of testosterone.

Sounds like my ex, who had an absolute mantrum over me keeping packs of the pill inside the coffee jar so I couldn't forget to take it every morning!

I felt like getting an emergency delivery of fake breasts and putting them on him overnight. Then he could really freak out when he woke up. 😁

😆

This is hilarious. Is he on YouTube a lot?

Does he know that he actually makes oestrogen in his testes (all be it in small amounts) and that scientists think that without any oestrogen, males would struggle to get a hard on and also be at high risk for cognitive disorders like parkinsons and alzheimers

Sorry OP he sounds embarrassing.

This is a joke right? I burst out laughing what an absolutely ridiculous thing to think

Definitely listens to Joe Rogan 😂😂

He's acting like a cunt, so he could probably do with some .

He sounds hilarious, gotta love the humour very 1980s /s

So true! Like something you might have seen on 'Terry and June'!

He doesn't listen to Joe Rogan or You Tube at all. He has come up with this ridiculous notion all by himself.

I think this is the best laugh I've ever had on MN. Yes, he is overreacting oh my god that is hilarious

Instead of fake boobs, buy a fake penis. Attach it to his head when he's asleep. When he wakes up congratulate him on having such a high level of testosterone he's grown another penis. Then he will be a literal dick head. 😁

I suppose the female equivalent are women who think if they so much as touch weight lifting equipment they will wake up looking like Arnold Schwarzenegger.

I will say wasn’t there an issue with girls getting testosterone gel on their skin from cuddling their dads and getting virililzed genitals? I’m sure I read that in mainstream news. But i don’t want to google it! Maybe he’s read it too?

Ugh. I couldn't respect a man who was so terrified of female hormones that he acted like a maidservant in a Victorian novel leaping onto a stool to escape a mouse 😂

Do you shower it off before having sex with him?

Strictly speaking, while he’s overreacting, he isn’t wrong on the fundamental concept. Rogue hormones are actually quite a problem in modern society in food etc. And if you absorb it trans-dermally, I guess he can too… He’s not wrong to suggest caution for your Dc. I think you’d have to have smeared quite a lot on the bottle to justify that reaction though. He’s likely absorbed more from your skin.
