Not having the material before me, isn't this just an analogy? It doesn't seem like an explanation, but only a description. I don't get your use of "this leads". Does the author really make that claim of mechanism, or just claim similarity?
(And, it's not a very satisfying analogy, for right away, I'd have to ask why it is that men are so like molecules and women aren't.)
Is there some space or astronomy connection I'm not seeing, so this can be answered in the context of the place it was asked? This Q&A section is for space and astronomy. If health care is to be discussed, or thermodynamics, there are better places.
