The stuff about paraquat is scary, but the article also talks a lot about glyphosate, and this stood out to me. Boldface is mine:

I don’t think we need a biological reason for a phenomenon which is already adequately explained by spsychosocial patterns.
Some of it must be inherent to human sexual psychology- the cult of Cybele in ancient times, the Skoptsy more recently, and no doubt more , plus any number of individuals in the pre-glyphosate past suggest some people have always hated their sexed bodies, or been vulnerable to mass psychological distress about them. Add the internet, porn, the various stresses and dysfunctions of our culture.
