Why Do Men Have Nipples?

My boss bought this keen book called Why Do Men Have Nipples? It's a collection of all these crazy questions you would ask a doctor if you were drunk. Listed below is their explanation of why men have nipples (which, honestly, is something I have always wondered about):

“We are mammals and blessed with body hair, three middle ear bones, and the ability to nourish our young with milk that females produce in modified sweat glands called mammary glands. Although females have the mammary glands, we all start out in a similar way in the embryo. During development, the embryo follows a female template until about six weeks, when the male sex chromosome kicks in for a male embryo. The embryo then begins to develop all of its male characteristics. Men are thus left with nipples and also with some breast tissue. Men can even get breast cancer and there are some medical conditions that can cause male breasts to enlarge. Abnormal enlargement of the breasts in a male is known as gynecomastia [which] can be caused by using anabolic steroids.”

So basically, we all began as females and all men have already undergone a sex change they just don't know it...unless they read the book, this blog, or have studied that area of physiological science in depth...um, yeah... So to all you male misogynists out there, you're really only hating yourself...in a way...

I do hate myself! But I love the ladies. Does this mean that I love myself? I'm so confused.
