The normal range of testosterone is reported as 350- 1200ng/dl. Studies in the 1940’s showed the average testosterone level to be at 700 ng/dl, 300 ng/dl higher than for men today. In the past, a drop in testosterone levels to 250 ng/dl was rarely reported before men were 80 years of age. Yet today, it is not an uncommon value for middle aged men!

There, fixed it..
Part of the problem is that women are brainwashed into believing they don’t need men. Hence the divorce rate. Their sons have no male role model after that. Even if Dad is around, he’s not in the house, and kids never miss that point.
Doesn’t the author mean “emasculation” rather than “demasculation”?
Great job. Being a good scoter is a lot of work and hassle, but it’s a whole lot of fun. I’m a Webelo den leader, Asst Cubmaster and an Asst Scoutmaster. It keeps me just a little busy but is important and necessary, not only for my boys but for all “my boys.”
A few years ago, I came across an essay written by Herbert Hoover before he was President.
What is a Boy?
You can absolutely rely on a boy if you know what to expect.
A boy is nature’s answer to the false belief that there is no such thing
as perpetual motion.
The world is so full of boys that it is impossible to touch off a
firecracker, strike up a band or pitch a ball without collecting a
thousand of them.
Boys are not ornamental, they’re useful.
If it were not for boys, the newspapers would go undelivered and unread
and a hundred thousand picture shows would go bankrupt.
The boy is a natural spectator; he watches parades, fires, fights,
football games, automobiles and planes with equal fervor.
However, he will not watch a clock.
A boy is a piece of skin stretched over an appetite.
However, he eats only when he’s awake.
Boys imitate their Dads in spite of all the efforts to teach them good
manners.
Boy’s are very durable.
A boy, if not washed too often and if not kept in kept in a cool quiet
place after each accident , will survive broken bones, hornet’s nests,
swimming holes and five helpings of pie.
Boys love to trade things. They’ll trade fishhooks, marbles, broken
knives and snakes for anything that is priceless or worthless.
When he grows up, he’ll trade puppy love, energy, warts, bashfulness and
a cast-iron stomach for a bay window, pride, ambition, pretense and a
bald head and will immediately say that; “boys aren’t what they used to
be in the good old days.”
Herbert Hoover
This is what all boys shoulc aspire to.
The girls in my 8 year old grandson’s class are crazy about him because they say he’s one of the only boys that is nice to them. On the first day of school, one of his classmates was in total meltdown. The principal was walking her to the classroom while she cried. My grandson walked up to her and told her that they were in the same class this year and everything would be just fine. The principal thanked him for being so kind to her and the next day summoned him to her office where she gave him a sticker for his kindness. I was very happy to hear that he was acknowledged for being thoughtful.
why are 70%+ of those incarcerated in jails and prisons from fatherless homes?
Why are RINO men little more than sexless neuter metrosexuals?
We have a women’s rugby team

I believe he does.
Here's what I tell my nephew that sums it up fairly well:
“Kipling’s If..”
Excellent! My Dad gave me a plaque with the printed verse of “If” on it when I was twelve (46 years ago). I still have it. I introduced my 3 sons to Kipling’s work at around the same age. I told them to follow the advice in this poem and things will always work out for you and “you will be a man, my son”. They all grew up to be MEN.
Robert Service is also great reading for young men. “A promise made is a debt unpaid”.
And pouring soy products down their gullets from birth doesn't help either.
ping for later
Check the damm bag, sweetit. Don't crush my hat!
We have what we call 'Tutor Groups' at my school. Every boy is assigned a teacher as his Tutor who will be personally responsible for him his entire time at the school. You have sixteen boys as a Tutor, four 14 year olds, four 15 year olds, four 16 year olds, and four 17 year olds.
One of my 15 year olds has been a problem for me, for over a year and a half now. Always doing the wrong thing, and normally lying about it when caught. He came to me, off his own bat last week, came into my office and said: "Sir, I've screwed up badly..." and he was right. He had. And he's paying a price for that. But I've also told him I'm exceptionally proud of him for his honesty this time. For standing up and saying, "I did the wrong thing." I told him that that is what a man does - and the pride in his eyes when I said that... I just hope it's sticking with him.
How could that be seen as demeaning and not complimentary?
“I would recommend getting rid of the term “fairer sex” because some of us find that a demeaning term.”
////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////////
I believe that, in the old usage, “fairer” simply meant better looking. That is not demeaning, it is just a fact. Most of us men aren’t very pretty to look at, Leonardo may be the exception.
Not at all. I hope your present government doesn’t have them marching under the rainbow flag before they are done though! Good luck.
Spot on.
I can't change the channel fast enough when one of these cookie-cutter, "men are idiots" commercials comes on.
According to the advertisers, we are all bad and stupid little boys who are married to our mothers.
