Men out of the reproductive loop
(Or even moreso, I suppose one could say.) See for example the BBC's take. That's as in "adult males" -- this route still relies on Y chromosomes, and is essentially "fast-tracking" embryonic sperm development by a decade or so. Speaking hypothetically, since using it reproductively is presently illegal in the UK (and presumably most other places).
In other news, have another puncture. Discovered this on my way home at stupid o'clock last night. Just a slow(ish) one (for now), but it'll be a bugger to change the tyre -- it was infeasibly tight going on, and I doubt it's slackened very much. Maybe those new tyre levers will make a difference...
