> sperm counts and testosterone is down (for better or worse)
Sorry to nitpick but why did you qualify it “for better or worse”? It struck me as misandry. The implication being that masculine traits are bad and perhaps low sperm and testosterone is a good thing!

- QuercusMax 4y agoMisandry - from andro, meaning man (male) Misanthropy - from anthropos, meaning human

- AlexandrB 4y agoI think you're reading too much into that statement. The connection between masculine traits and t/sperm count is not 1:1. I think the obsession over testosterone levels and the implicit association between t levels and masculinity is far more damaging to men than the low t itself.

- hcurtiss 4y agoThe role of testosterone in the behavior of cattle or monkeys is obvious to any casual observer. I don't know why we try so hard to overlook it in humans. Like the GP, I don't view it as an objective negative, but there's definitely a reason 90+% of the humans in prison are males. And that's true in every culture across the entire planet.
