The fact that "masculine" characteristics are considered "abnormal" in women; the attitude that it is a bad thing in need of correcting.

Otherwise, I don't care. If it was perfectly safe and just for personal preferences, I'd have no problem. But it's not perfectly safe and it's based on ridiculous gender role prejudices.

What is wrong if people think women should be meek and in the kitchen?
All I have seen is almost-hysterical reporting on the research in question; I've not seen anything from the researchers themselves. Indeed the only direct references seem to be those regarding CAH, an actual medical condition. From where I am sitting it seems quite possible that the researchers merely observed that this was a possible consequence (And from the quote in the sidebar, this seems to be exactly the case). Whilst the article has much outrage at the long list of bodies which have endorsed this, I think it somewhat unlikely that there is a huge cabal of scientists across North America and Europe is all in this scheme to 'fix' women.
