I expect you are right about that.

Interestingly, its only in the West (and a couple of Westernising East-Asian countries) where male Testosterone levels (and sperm counts) are cratering. Men in LatAm, Africa, South Asia and China doing just fine.

- Status of men?

- Increasing inequality generally?

- Change in social comparison group when using modern media?

Its not urbanisation or sedentarism or even pollution, because China et al have all of those.

I have too much testosterone I need to take estrogen sign me up :)

How about de facto relationships laws and #metoo movements?

These make long term or short term relationships much more risky for men. As a result, men stop pursuing women in a romantic sense, therefore their body downregulates t production and upregulates things they do instead (estrogen, to relate to

women platonically, since that is the only low risk way left to relate to women).

So it's cognition which changes behavioural patterns which the body responds to, not the other way around.

I'm sure that's part of it, for sure.
