Ok. I didn’t think it would be as low as 2%, which does lower the utility of that study.
Environmentalists suggests it is estrogen like compounds in the water supply. I am inclined to believe it is metaphorical estrogen in the metaphorical water supply. Society and the education system has been treating masculinity as an evil pathology, with ever increasing severity. Maybe the problem is that we need to encourage boys to be men, to be manly, to be tough.
Since testosterone levels change due to danger, dominance, talking to attractive women etc, I would say there is some theoretical justification for this.
I’m more inclined to suspect memetic causes,
We need more than an inclination, we need empirical data. For instance, if women are being more dominant and this is causing homosexuality, then a testable hypothesis is that socially dominant groups ought to be less gay. Do people from working class backgrounds have higher rates of homosexuality than elites?

Its more complicated since being socially dominant is not quite the same as being locally dominant in everyday life. Look at your typical “bad neighborhood” the people there aren’t socially dominant. But there are a lot of people there being dominant often violently so.

But I imagine it would at least correlate.
Anyway, there should be other ways to test the idea. For a start, are the children of feminists disproportionately gay?
