I think you know that testosterone is the primary hormone for the development of male sexual characteristics, or masculinity. Thanks to testosterone, we have gender differences, the very ones some foolish individuals want to abolish year after year. Thanks to testosterone, men strive to take initiative and bend others to their will. Under the influence of this hormone, they express their opinions decisively, are angry, are highly energetic, and are more successful. There's a wealth of information on this, from legends to modern research.
Yes, it sounds trite, and I think you're aware of it. However, not everyone is aware of the global trend of this hormone declining in young men! Personally, I began noticing this a long time ago, and the global situation only colored my impressions. For example, starting with the COVID-19 pandemic, I met guys who, in all seriousness, went shopping wearing gas masks. They were afraid to shake hands, washing their faces with hand sanitizer. And with the start of the war, another trend emerged: guys, like mice, began hiding in their apartments, afraid of conscription. And don't rush to be indignant, I know that people died from COVID-19, I know that people die and become disabled at the front, BUT testosterone and masculinity are needed precisely for this—to take risks despite threats; that's the true nature of a man .
This kind of despondent behavior changes gender roles, seriously disrupting the balance. Such guys are easily coerced, easily intimidated, and incapable of creativity or fighting. Moreover, this behavior affects girls as well. I've already described Calhoun's animal experiments, and I never tire of repeating that a similar situation is happening in the human world. In all spheres. Just compare the music, films, and books of the 90s with today: instead of masculine action heroes, we have incomprehensible characters who whine and reflect. For example, I grew up on films like Rambo, Rocky, and Bloodsport. And what do boys watch now? Stupid TV series with LGBT propaganda, bloggers who talk about their depression?
Women, who evolved behind men, seeing such passivity, begin to adapt. This is where the various feminist movements, child-free movements, and other such nonsense arise. Among many women, it's now commonplace to live alone, considering themselves independent in everything from earning a living to driving a car. But you can't fool nature here either—in an ideal world, their income is limited to typical female niches, like nails, hair, cosmetology, and, in a worse world, to webcamming or escorting, where they are still dependent on men. The worst thing is when women take over men's work. For example, when women go to war, work out in the gym until they're as big as men, etc. Call me sexist or use other fashionable terms, but this is the truth; not everyone notices it.
In short, I'm trying to convey that the harm of this situation is degeneration and that very same gender equality. This is NOT progress, NOT evolution, NOT globalization, but a bad sign for all of humanity, which could lead to its partial demise.
The reasons for the global decline in testosterone are complex. For example, the widespread use of plastics containing substances that mimic female hormones. This is also due to the widespread use of various medications that increase prolactin and suppress testosterone (such as antidepressants) . I'm not the only one talking about this. There are numerous studies on this topic, and there's just a desire to study them.
As an epilogue, I want to urge all guys to pull themselves together, find their balls in their pants, and NOT engage in the behavior described in this post. And I encourage girls to support their boyfriends in this, or find other guys if yours resist. This will be a great lesson for them .
After all, think about who you really need: a hypothetical ferret in a hole, or a lion that rages and rages when the situation demands it?
