Maybe men just masturbate more than they used to? Doesn't that reduce sperm count?

#72He got one fact wrong in the intro: Women are more obese and overweight than men. I suspect the life expectancy gap may narrow because of this (just like the thigh gap closed!)

likely to be met with scoffs of “good riddance” My first thought was that this may also cast light on the rise of the trans rights movement. If men are becoming less male, surely this relates to so many people saying "I'm really a woman trapped in a man's body." or vice versa. This may also help explain why trans people are so often met with open hostility as "freaks" etc. No, I am not defending their mistreatment. B…
> I'm a fairly traditionally feminine woman and spent a couple of decades as a homemaker and full-time mom. I am routinely met with open hostility from self proclaimed trans activists, feminists, etc. > I personally like "manly men" and that's also not a PC thing to admit to. So I will suggest it isn't just men the world is saying "good riddance" to. It's also women in some sense. I think, in this context, we need be…
One thing that's odd is the "progressive" community thinks that people don't have a right to an "affectional preference" and if you prefer masculine men, or feminine women with flat stomachs, then there's something wrong with you.

#74GQ... LOL! "We're going to take the women down with us." The same magazine that publishes about "toxic masculinity." There are plenty of virile men out there - but I imagine very few are journalists! Restricting calories, "soy boys," lack of exercise, lack of quality animal products - of course you're going to have a low sperm count! I would say, be honest - and tackle your mental and physical issues before your sperm count - and it will likely rise on its own. Besides, someone with poor mental and physical health shouldn't become a father or mother yet anyway.

Re: Sperm Count Zero
#77I had heard that sperm counts are dropping. What was news to me was that the decline is continuing, even accelerating, and also the concomitant drop in testosterone levels, starting even in utero. The bit about AGD was also pretty crazy — followed by the bit about men becoming less male . Some fear-mongering there no doubt, but a topic which in this era is more likely to be met with scoffs of “good riddance” rather t…

Thanks for being a home maker, which is the age-old proven roll for producing the best offspring - and society's future generations. It is merely the marketing of insecurity that allows so many to propose that "CEO" is so much more virtuous than "home maker" for a woman of child bearing age. None of the "modern alternatives" are alternatives at all - in that they've not been proven in the least to be comparable in effectiveness. And the people pushing hormones on pre-pubescent children because they're "questioning their gender" should be called out and ridiculed for the sake of these children's lives!
The fact that it isn't PC to admit that you like men ("manly men") is so ridiculous, but I agree that it is true (that is shunned). People are gaining political platform merely on the basis of the credential of being gay, trans, etc! Since when did wanting to have sex with a certain kind of person become so righteous?! This is all reminiscent of the culture of sexuality that the Greeks had during the final stages of their empire. The people who are mischaracterizing the issues we have with this generally as issues we have with them personally are not being intellectually honest. The destruction of the male & female gender roles, which balance and compliment each other - with no proposed alternatives with long-term studies - is suicidal for our civilization.
Thank you for speaking up... I think there are way more women who share your views & experience than almost anyone is admitting.

By some measures the world is more peaceful than it has ever been [1]. I guess I just think that so many of the issues we constantly discuss on these forums could easily be solved with a bit more political violence. Instead we let people like Ajit Pai get away with blatant corruption because of our complete unwillingness to take any real action to stop him. Think about it. Alexander Hamilton died in a gun duel with s…
Violence just simply is not allowed to be a solution for problems in the modern day I'm very confused. Are we in the same world? so many of the issues we constantly discuss on these forums could easily be solved with a bit more political violence. Wow. Such as? Can you be specific? What you are saying sounds fairly dark and ominous. You think duels were "extremely effective" solutions to problems? It certainly is not…
I'm very confused. Are we in the same world?
Afaik the issue this thread is about is primarily an issue in modern western societies, so that is what I am referencing specifically. The article I linked suggests that violence is at near all time lows in such societies.
Wow. Such as? Can you be specific? What you are saying sounds fairly dark and ominous.
I literally gave an example in my post. Horrible corrupt politicians resurrecting from the dead to fake support for a massively unpopular policy? They are going to get away with literally no consequences. You don't see any issues with this?
You think duels were "extremely effective" solutions to problems?
Nope, I don't. This was an example of how violence has been de-emphasized. The fact that something like this feels simply unfathomable in the current day shows how far off we really are. That being said, I wouldn't mind seeing a specific few of our politicians face off in a duel. Maybe then we could replace them with people not bought off by corporations.
What sort of 'political violence' do you mean? I guess a lot more violence would be even better at times, to solve those pesky problems where the normal amount isn't so effective?
I would prefer if it was used in situations where rule of law is proving to be ineffective. It just feels like the right to vote is not proving to be enough leverage in our current society. Take the Equifax hack. What basically amounts to criminal negligence of the data nearly every american gave them (essentially) unwillingly. These people are just going to walk? I'm not saying kill them or anything... but where are the protests? The broken windows? Why aren't there offices being stormed with protests? Like what is happening? The only possible explanation I can come up with is that people have been pacified. They've been taught that getting fucked over is just the normal way. Businesses and politicians are sociopathic and that's just the nature of the world. Don't do anything, don't fight back, just take it.
I don't see the logical connection between the two halves of that. At all. Is it that thing where people in the US seemingly can't abide the police having guns and people not having them?
Violence is an important tool to impart change. Why should the government be the only ones allowed to wield it? Is law enforcement truly the only incarnation of violence we are going to view as socially acceptable? Why should that be the case?

I resisted the urge to joke that this finally explains millenials , because it’s exactly that response which leads to the dismissive reactions this trend is being met with. A couple days ago I shared a NYT article with my wife because it was such a strange window into evolving gender standards [1] and the next day a friend of hers shared another story which took it to a whole new level [2]. I could not help but tie i…
Jesus Christ, #2 sounds dangerously like the parent pushing her viewpoints on the poor kid.
Where do you see that? I don't get that at all. It clearly sounds like his decision to wear dresses — the mother is just reflecting on the implications of that choice.
