31. Our castrated Males: So what?

Chapter 31 from "Castrated in the womb - every man a guinea pig"

A certain feminization of men has probably been taking place over hundreds of thousands of years in the course of evolution [429], making human culture possible in the first place [76]. Today, the pace seems to be many orders of magnitude faster.

At first glance, the observed decrease in sperm and testosterone by about half seems to correspond to the loss of one testicle, i.e., hemicastration. However, after surgical hemicastration, sperm and testosterone production would recover because the other testicle would take over compensatorily [264]. In this respect, the situation with permanently reduced sperm and testosterone production is even worse than after hemicastration.

Although many measurements document a decrease in testosterone levels in men, the data is not as comprehensive and clear-cut as it is for sperm.

Confirming findings are therefore important: since testosterone has a direct effect on sexual potency and activity, a decrease in these indirectly confirms the decrease in testosterone.

As far as the significance of the individual findings is concerned, sperm deficiency, impotence, and lack of sexual activity as predominantly male contraception contribute to the decline in births, which is a blessing for the climate and the planet, since overshoot due to overpopulation and overconsumption is the main driver of environmental catastrophe. Seen in this light, the decline in births may be our last chance, but together with global warming, it ranks us among the endangered species [153].

Declining population pressure could benefit biodiversity. However, this is negated by the fact that chemical disruption affects much of the living world in a similar way to us and contributes significantly to species loss. For example, one to two percent of insects disappear every year, much like sperm and testosterone [265].

The decline in traffic fatalities can be seen as positive, as can the decline in militarism, at least as long as no testosterone-fueled aggressors appear.

Men's cosmetics and intimate shaving may be dismissed as irrelevant, but we will have to get used to declining muscle strength and cancel culture.

What is worrying are the indications of obesity and relationship problems, with their dangers to physical and mental health.

The increase in malformations and cancer of the male reproductive organs is alarming, and brain damage and behavioral disorders in children are completely unacceptable.

The next chapter 32 we will arrive at the central point of this booklet, namely demonstrating, how the foxes are guarding the henhouse. And this link takes you to the start of the book.
