I’m sure that’s part of it, but I can’t believe it’s the whole explanation.
You can read about it here.
The trouble is, so- many people on the Left (including the environmental clean-water, save-the-other-species types) think sterilizing human females and feminizing human males is a good thing. A boost for gender nonconformity. A positive serendipitous spin-off.
The fact that birth control pills clog (women's) arteries, though reported even in the New York Times, didn't get a whole lot of publicity.
Let's see if eggs growing in males' testicles will grab anybody's attention.
It always strikes me as curious that green people rant about carbon offsets and pollution from autos and fur (oh the horror), but seemingly ignore the hormone and plastic pollutants poisoning our water. To me, it is the bigger and often ignored issue. (Sometimes I mention it to green people I know, just for fun.)
Maybe if they look like this:
Ouch.
Got to add, though, that people wouldn't think this topic was ~just for laughs~ if they had a son suffering from a genital deformity or a husband that can't produce viable sperm.
Infertility is generally considered a good, but if it causes impotence, that will get their attention. Or maybe it is, considering all the “enhancement” products being sold.
Feminisation of the males of numerous vertebrate species is now a widespread occurrence.
At first I thought they were talking about Republican politicians, but then I noticed the words vertebrate species.
There is a much longer version of the article in the Independent today, that mentions the effects on both fish and mammals.
You make an excellent point. But, maybe the reason everyone is so calm about this problem is due to the fact that there are more unused Antidepressants and Anti anxiety meds making their way into the environment and water supply than BC pills! We should all be feeling “happier” than we do.....
Neighbor of mine is a 64-year old male, pothead for decades (other stuff too), vegetarian soy eater...and father of 15 (with various mothers).
Maybe his lifestyle isn’t affecting his sexual prowess, but he’s a completely irresponsible loony-tunes leftist and definitely not “manly” in the sense of supporting his family or holding a job or things like that. Another recent study has shown that contrary to the believe that pot is harmless, if use is steady over many years it causes decrease in brain function.
So one part of the other ain’t functioning, either way end result not pleasant.
..”pothead...”
I’m guessing most women are not enthralled with the gynecomastia (MAN BOOBS) that occur with heavy pot use. This guys partners were most likely users too.

And this whole time I just thought it was the decades long successful liberal culture warriors who turned men into quiche eating pacifists who loved the arts.
How much “Will and Grace” can a man’s wife force him to watch before his testes shrink. Did they study that?
