I think you have the cart before the horse.
The culture has changed because hormones, environment, food, medicine, etc have impacted the humans. It seems right to you, because you are a product of all those environmental changes.
Or, put more harshly, because males are more feminised, strong males are seen as intimidating, and this is perceived as a problem.
Without making a judgement about right or wrong, what I wonder about is 'what is more natural'?
My view is that the older way was more natural - plainly big aggra, big pharma, big governance, etc played less of a role in determining the environment (and therefore less of a role in determining human attributes) in the past.
I also can't help wondering whether this is by design - plainly a more feminised culture would be less problematic to those who control/run society. I'm sure 'they' took inspiration from books like brave new world, which very plainly lays out the idea of using everything at one's disposal to engineer a populace that is most amenable to following the governance structure.

- verisimi 4y agoDo naturalistic fallacies apply, when you are talking about nature itself? When you are saying that something is artificial because something really has been changed in the diet, environment, etc? Perhaps you are disputing the idea that the environment has changed - with the widespread introduction of, say, plastics, massive use of medication that is re-imbibed in the water, by the use of petroleum based fertilisers, by the application of chemicals to crops, etc? Please say if that is your argument. So, I'm not saying what is old is better. I'm saying the environment really has changed, perhaps by design. That is not fallacious.
