Just watched the trailer for Tucker Carlson's "The End of Men". First, I laughed and then

I threw up a little in my mouth.

Tucker is concerned that men today do not have enough testosterone. His film communicates this by showing nude or semi-nude male hunks exercising, bathing and, apparently, getting their crotch "recharged" from a glowing appliance of some sort!

I wish I was kidding.

The very thought that Tucker is some sort of authority on "what makes a man" is beyond silly.

The guy is getting it's red light therapy, which is featured elsewhere in that creepy video. Pro athletes and others use it for pain relief and general therapy after competition and hard trainingg. They're basically "re-charging" their tissues. If you watch the video again, you'll notice one of those half-naked musclemen standing in front of a wall of red lights. IMHO, that guy shining the light on his junk is treating his man parts after using them in manly-man ways. His abundant testosterone has worn out his manhood by having so much sex (with women, of course) that he needs the red light therapy on it.

The problem is, there is far TOO MUCH testosterone running rampant in insecure little boys like Tucker.

Think about it: does a confident man ever worry about testosterone levels in his peers? Or himself, for that matter?

Way to show the world just how small your dick is, Tucker.

You know that if he told his apostles to hook their youknowwhats up to a 12V battery they would.

Lupron is a type of hormone therapy for prostate cancer. It works by lowering the amount of testosterone in a person's body, which helps slow the growth of cancer cells. Doctors often prescribe hormone therapies in combination with radiation therapy or following surgery.

That is a verified fact. Exposure to chemical pollution has caused a sharp drop in testosterone and sperm counts over the past 50 years. It has the potential to become a very serious issue in a few decades, with fertility problems increasing.

If Tucker were really concerned though, he'd lobby for a stronger EPA instead.

They seem to be having melt downs on a daily basis.

I would imagine toxic stress is a big factor, but I don't discount the role of our pesticide, hormone, processed chemical laden food supply.

Apparently we're just getting more efficient at using brain power, so we're evolving smaller, more compact brains.

Whereas lower sperm counts don't make us more fertile.

paying attention to the likes of Carlson is giving him and fox news exactly what they want. I've never watched the channel, even if it's on at airports and such. Many of you will say that I'm burying my head in the sand and avoiding what the other side is up to but that's not true. I stay engaged in all elections and participate in civil rights matters, etc., which goes against things GOP.

My world here in Maryland doesn't even mention the likes of fox, et al. It's about taking care of business and setting things right with the wayward Supreme Court, voting and abortion rights.

The other side has its host of Deplorables, which aren't coming back. It's done. It's a new day, so treat it as such.

Going to be one heck of a battle taking on 400 plus years of the establishment. Dr King fought until his death....why not the rest of us.
