George in the OP picrel was born during the industrial revolution, saw telephones come into the home for the first time as well as the discovery of genetics, saw the formation of both the league of nations and the UN, lived through the great depression, saw the rise of communism and dissolution of empires, saw the first international broadcast across an ocean, had access to the first computers, lived through 2 world wars, was around when the polio vaccine was invented, saw the first kidney transplant in history, and watched a man be put on the moon. That's just a few highlights too.

          Not him, but you literally can't combat microplastics and other pollutants nowadays, except temporarily by, for example, donating blood to reduce microplastic count in your blood.
          Test levels are dropping around 1% every year, men 100 years ago literally had twice or thrice the test levels of the average man of today.

        On average test is falling because people spend their time sitting on their ass, jerking off for that dopamine hit.
        Your test can eclipse those of your ancestors if you actually stop being lazy coomers. You weight lift much more than them, have access to much more meat than them, have more knowledge on nutrition than them.
        The "people of the past are manly because they have higher test than me" mindset is a cope for lazy fricks to do nothing. Everything is in your hands, and its not even that hard.

              and do you have evidence that pollution wasn't rampant in the previous generations and that the industrial food manufacturing companies weren't severely unregulated to the point of cocacola putting meth in their drink, alcohol usage being considered a social norm equivelant to tea and smoking being heavily widespread? not to mention enviromental workplace safety hazards. you are utterly in the false here and refuse to admit that the advances in medical care, the rise of the welfare state, the increasingly expanding sector of government employment, as well as the heavily rising use of recreational medication use amongst women( which directly affects pre-natal development and testosterone exposure) have allowed the atrocities of human garbage and filth to reproduce with virtually no repercussions whatsoever to the health and wellbeing of their offspring? please reconsider homie or provide more ample evidence to your b***h ass arguments

                >cocacola putting meth in their drink
                99.999% of the Earth's population didn't drink coca-cola at all and those who did didn't live on it like modernites.
                >alcohol usage being considered a social norm
                That's a point towards plastics fricking you. Literal alcoholics dwarf your puny manlet ass even pinning test.
                >enviromental workplace safety hazards
                What the frick does that have to do with anything? Mercury used in hat-making? Compare that to 60,000 petrochemicals in the air you breathe right now AND mercury
                >advances in medical care
                Medical malpractice is the #1 killer. Followed by medical success in Covid vaccinations.
                >the rise of the welfare state, the increasingly expanding sector of government employment
                Damn the welfare state stole all my testosterone wtf?
                >heavily rising use of recreational medication
                Another point in our favor moron. Your logical capacities are clearly stunted.

                to wrap things up
                >there is ample evidence that testosterone has dramatically declined over 50 years
                >there is ample evidence it's caused by pollution, especially plastic exposure
                >there is ample evidence that your b***h ass lives in plastic and is therefore low-test

      >source: I made it up
      to anyone that knows a tiny bit about classical vocal music you would know that the average man 200 years ago had a significantly higher voice. modern bass singers can go almost an octave below classical bass range and that is with true bass singers being notoriously rare when the music was written. nowadays it's the other way around, modern tenors have to study extensively to fill the classical tenor range.

      You already revealed your hand as a demonic israelite here

      Plastics increase testosterone as they act like nolvadex and clomid

      Now you try to continue your act of victim blaming. Your kind is truly abominable. A blight on the human race that produces nothing but lies and filth and cancer. No honest bone in your body.
