Testosterone Under Attack

Blessed indeed is the man who hears many gentle voices call him father! Lydia Maria Child

This story, Testosterone Under Attack- http://tinyurl.com/3d6fz7 - talks about the reduction in testosterone in young men as compared to previous generations. The causes suspected are obesity, medicines, and a chemical environment.

I think there is another reason that is not mentioned. I think men today are living in an anti male society. They are living in a feminized society that concentrates on the virtues of women and the evils of men. Men are ridiculed in TV ads. In movies and TV shows men are either bumblers or sadists. Women are prescient and calm under fire.

I am no bio chemists, but I suspect men who are prisoners of war produce less testosterone than men who spend time around beautiful, charming and provocative women.

If men today did not have to work in a hostile environment they might produce more testosterone. A man in today's workforce knows the sword of Damocles is hanging over his head. Testosterone is a liability in today's office.
