Only if you count Janet Reno, Hillary Clinton, Lindsey Graham, and Barney Fwank.
I swear young men today are less masculine on average than those of just a generation ago.
Hand reaches; checks. OK.
Many pesticides and antibiotics as well as the chemicals which are given off when plastic is heated are considered xenoestrogens or estrogen mimickers. They disrupt the endocrine system by interfering with true estrogen and it's messages and feedback systems between the organs.
Even men have estrogen messengers in their system, but these unnatural chemicals cause an added burden and confuse the fine tuned systems of communication in the body.

NOBODY threatens my basic male tool kit!
Of course if the occasion should arise and his services are required he says he'll stand to and do his duty just like any red blooded American.
One major problem they fail to mention is the large quantities of estrogen in our regular tap water. So many women are on “birth control” pills, and water treatment plants do not “clean” the water of the hormones in these pills, so these hormones have gotten into the water supply.
There was some study about how this is effecting fish; the male fish aren’t developing properly from too much estrogen. This sounds so bizarre, someone is going to demand a link, so I guess I better go find one.
‘Some research suggests that these negative effects are having a deleterious impact on men as well, predicting that the “average man will be unable to father children within decades.” ‘

It ain’t the chemicals, it’s the political correctness.
My prescription? Read some Raymond Chandler and some Ian Fleming.
The intake by younger metrosexual males today of soy based products and indulging in marijuana use isn’t helping.
Why, just yesterday, wife and I were shopping at Home Depot in Key West and when I went to use the men’s room, I saw a man (I think) coming out of the ladies room.
LONDON: Are men becoming the weaker sex? Well, it seems so from a study which has found evidence that pollution is affecting evolution of males by damaging genitals and their ability to father offspring.
So the billions upon billions of people that cover this planet were fathered by wome doing it themselves?????
IMHO, increasingly, boys are being raised in single-parent homes.....mostly by the mother....without a strong, male role-model. That can’t help matters any.
Here is a great site I ran across the other day:

My husband is doing just fine. Most men deliberately prevent themselves from having many (or any) offspring, so what difference does it make if they end up naturally incapable?
Men already were the weaker sex when it comes to reproduction. That’s what “sexual selection” is all about. Since one man can do the work of dozens of others (if he’s lucky enough), we are dispensible to women. What makes us valuable is our strength and intelligence, not our genitals.
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.)
