    They’re trying to justify 65 year old men raping girl children for the “birth rate”. They’re definitely not going to address the fact that families made up of consenting adults can’t afford kids. Old men raping little girls is going to be their answer.

    Our girls are hitting puberty six years early

    Oh? What’s his supposed correct age for this?

    I was taught in college that girls reach puberty earlier now than in prior centuries in part because they are exposed to light for more hours per day thanks to electrification, and puberty is in part triggered by an internal clock keeping track of how much light you’ve been exposed to in your lifetime.

    Of course we leaned a lot of shit in college before the internet which turns out to be nonsense now. But I believe exposure to light is more important than we generally recognize. If you trace our evolution back to the beginning, you’ll find light sensitive cells far far earlier than anything involving actual vision.

      I learned something new today.

      I also did hear that girls go through puberty sooner because girls now are fatter than they used to be due to a number of factors.

        I always heard it was partly due to all the hormones we put in cows to keep them pregnant, and then we drink the milk.

          That makes no sense. Hormones in your food will just be broken down in your digestive system.

        Ya, my biology professor had a theory that it was because of estrogen being introduced to the water supply through birth control. After the pill was introduced breast size started increasing and girls started reaching puberty earlier. Makes sense.

          So! It’s actually kinda crazy how accurate your professor might be. Because progesterone, the chemical in birth control, does indeed break down into estrogen under the right circumstances. The components of broken down progesterone pass through the body via urine, enter the water system, and - this is the important part - is far too small and difficult to be collected or filtered out of the water.

          So people taking birth control have absolutley added an insane amount of estrogen to the water supply. And most tap water now does have low levels of estrogen in it because people have been taking birth control for 60+ years.

          In that same time, the average age of puberty has continued to fall.

          So, it sounds a bit wild, but that theory is far more feasible than most realize.

            There’re also other endocrine disrupters in the water such as pfoa/pfos etc. We should absolutely be filtering our tap water or drinking RO water if we can.

    He’s probably mixing up sperm with testosterone level. Somehow the conversation of testosterone levels came up with a group of kids we work with. One of the young adults who is heavily into weight lifting knew his testosterone levels. The 65 year old man in our group had far higher levels. The reason? He nearly died from cancer and is now on hormone therapy. Apparently the levels are set quite high.

        Yeah after that thought popped into my head I went and looked up interviews and when she was talking to the people on the view, she was doing the whole “oh, well after some vaccines the babies can have their normal development change” shit. Sounds like she either always was or has hopped on the anti vax idiocy.

    You know what?
    He’s less concerned probably about younger people’s sperm counts and this is him bragging about his own.

    Like seriously, he only cares cause he views himself and his generation as the pinacle of manliness and is upset that people arent being like him. This is a narcissist’s brag pretending to he concern. You see it all the time.

    If he actually cared he would put effort into actually helping. He wants it to fix itself because he pointed out he has an issue with it and expects the world to bend to his whim. This is so much of that generation and with our politicians. They have their view they want the world to be first and look at how it actually is after if at all.

    Is RFK Jr milking them? Why is this a talking point? Is this some slope into bringing back eugenics?
