The War on Testosterone
It’s no secret that testosterone levels in men have been on the decline for decades. In fact, research has shown that the average man today has 20-30% less testosterone than his grandfather did at the same age. This trend is not a coincidence, and it has serious implications for men’s health, well-being and societal position.
One potential explanation for this decline is the fact that men are simply not being exposed to the same physical and environmental challenges that our ancestors faced. In the past, men were required to hunt, gather, and defend their families and communities. These activities helped to stimulate testosterone production and maintain healthy levels. Today, however, many men live sedentary lifestyles and are not subjected to the same physical demands.
But the decline in testosterone is not simply a result of lifestyle changes. There are also numerous environmental and societal factors that are contributing to this trend. For example, numerous chemicals found in our food, water, and personal care products have been linked to lower testosterone levels. These include things like phthalates, BPA, and parabens, which are found in everything from plastic bottles and canned food to shampoos and lotions.
In addition to these external factors, there has also been a cultural shift in recent years that has villainised masculinity and rewarded more effeminate men. Masculinity, particularly traditional masculinity, has been labeled as “toxic” and men who exhibit traditionally masculine traits are often shamed and ostracised. Just because some mens behave like dicks doesn’t make masculinity toxic. This cultural shift has likely contributed to the decline in testosterone levels, as men may feel less motivated to engage in activities that promote testosterone production and feel less confident in expressing traditionally masculine traits.
True masculinity is closely tied to the role of fatherhood. Many men who become fathers feel a sense of responsibility to provide for and protect their families, which can be associated with traditionally masculine traits such as strength, assertiveness, and leadership. These traits can be especially important in helping fathers to fulfil their role as protectors and providers. This is a perfectly normal, deep and primal urge. It isn’t sexist.
Furthermore, there is a growing body of evidence suggesting that the “powers that be”—the governments and other powerful institutions that shape our society—are actively working to lower testosterone levels in men. This may seem like a conspiracy theory, but there is actually some evidence to support it.
One possible motive for this “war on testosterone” is the fact that men, especially those with high levels of testosterone, are more likely to be aggressive, risk-taking, and assertive. These traits have historically been associated with leadership and success, but they can also be disruptive and destabilising. In a world where cooperation and conformity are highly valued, it’s possible that those in power may see lower testosterone levels as a way to keep men more docile and easier to control.
So, what can men do to fight back against this war on testosterone? The first step is to become more aware of the factors that are contributing to the decline in testosterone levels. This includes things like avoiding exposure to toxic chemicals, getting regular exercise, and eating a healthy diet.
But it’s not enough just to take care of ourselves individually. Men also need to speak out about this issue and demand change. This can mean advocating for stricter regulations on chemicals that are known to disrupt hormones, supporting research into the causes and consequences of testosterone decline, and standing up for our rights and interests.
There’s also the Trans-agenda, but more on that when I’m ready to be cancelled. Please note: I believe, if an adult suffering from gender dysphoria wants to make a change that’s fine. That’s their choice that they are free to make, this is different.
It’s time for men to step up and act to protect our health, well-being and place in society. The war on testosterone is real, and it’s not going away on its own. We need to be proactive in fighting back and ensuring that we can live healthy, fulfilling lives as men.
