RFK Jr.'s Bonkers Teen Sperm Rant

[Jilly_in_VA]

Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has fumed about the sperm count of teenage boys as he talked up his own ability to procreate.

Speaking alongside President Donald Trump as the administration announced plans to make IVF more affordable, the father of seven also lamented that girls were going through puberty earlier and that “our parents aren’t having children.”

“Today, the average teenager in this country has 50 per cent of the sperm count, 50 per cent of the testosterone as a 65-year-old man,” Kennedy said.

“Our girls are hitting puberty six years earlier, and that’s bad, but also our parents aren’t having children. Parents who want to have children do not have access. I have seven children. I feel that God has blessed me with that, and I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I did not have that blessing.”

The comments are not the first time Kennedy has sounded the alarm on sperm counts in America, but they immediately raised eyebrows, with some observers branding them as “creepy”.

1. Ewww

Parents who want to have children do not have access.

To what?

Very creepy

[FalloutShelter]

2. Nepo-baby says what!

Parents who want to have children do not have access to MONEY….HEALTHCARE…AFFORDABLE HOUSING…
Etc.

[Bernardo de La Paz]

3. "Average teenager has 50 percent sperm count" ... because only half are male.

Otherwise, there is that maga misogyny again, that assumes any group mentioned is male unless it otherwise specified.

[Maru Kitteh]

19. The "default male" strikes again.

4. Fucker is so obsessed with children's genitalia

[RedWhiteBlueIsRacist]

5. This is a sperm wail from the guy who purportedly decapitated a whale. He's gone full Capt. Ahab!

[MiniMe]

6. Has he travelednwith Jeffrey Epstein or Prince Andrew?

[GoCubsGo]

7. "Our parents are not having children"...

If they're not having children, how the hell are they parents, you drug-addled sack of shit? He's got to be in some kind of contest with Trump to see who is the most fucked-in-the-head.

[Diamond_Dog]

8. Asides from the fact it's NONE OF HIS BUSINESS

Maybe young people don’t want to bring a child into this authoritarian mess ruled by wack jobs called America.

15. True!

And I have heard this from numerous young people; no kids for them.

[DavidDvorkin]

9. There is evidence that sperm counts are declining worldwide

The suspected culprite I've heard mentioned most often is environmental factors, most likely nanoplastics and the estrogenic compounds they contain. So if RFK Jr. is so concerned about this problem, he should be advocating for much stronger environmental laws.

17. Outstanding Point

Plus, if supermarket count is down enough to be of concern, how does "have more babies" accomplish anything?
If the count is that low, "parents" can't just "have more babies".

[Justice]

10. His comments about girls going through puberty earlier are

Super creepy.

[Efilroft Sul]

12. "If you teenage boys don't get off Xbox, us older guys are gonna have no choice but to screw underage girls."

This is how it sounds to me: A justification for statutory rape.

[Hekate]

14. Actually true. But still super creepy from him. Same with the sperm counts. Environmental factors.

[canetoad]

16. And chemicals

In food and water.

[LudwigPastorius]

11. He's channeling W. Bush.

"Is our children churning...out sperm?"

[bluestarone]

13. Hell, i can only think of a couple parents that i WISH they NEVER had ANY

SPERM count. Guess who i'm talking about. (Clue), they are running our country today.

[allegorical oracle]

18. Meaning no disrespect to his children, it's still kinda bad news that he's

reproduced so successfully. Hope they learn to cautiously evaluate their father's wisdom.
