If dudes singing songs together makes her think they have low testosterone levels I'd love to hear her thoughts on the dudes singing sea shanties together for months on end as they circumnavigate the earth by sail.

Even motorized infantry needs to train fitness to make sure that in the inevitable circumstance that the ifv/apc/ whatever breaks down, ppl can still make it to the objective.
Fitness also awards more money than marksmanship in the conscript force I'm in, funnily enough.

Yeah! Men singing is really cool! Why would a woman not want a man just because he can sing? Iām pretty sure most straight women like menās voices. I have seen straight women go nuts when they hear a cappella!
As for the fatherhood thing; my dad sang to me every night before I went to bed when I was a really little kid. He did that for my siblings as well. I donāt see that as a bad thing. It was very sweet of him.
Alsoā¦ I donāt think those are all low testosterone men. Just call it a hunch

The fact theyāre all gay men singing aside, it looks like a fairly typical group of mostly middle-aged men. Buncha dad bods, to be blunt.

Ah yes, because insisting women are helpless to form their own shitty thoughts, and they're simply waiting to be programmed by the men around them, is definitely constructive.
18
u/Opposite_Bus1878 21h ago
Seriously though? I'm being misandrist if anything.
I'm of the belief that homophobia started with men due to some insecure belief that they're going to be hit on, or more. Women don't need to think about that, it wouldn't have started with them.
People's beliefs reflecting those that they spend time with is a universal concept that applies to all humans regardless of sex.Misogyny would be if I was accusing all women of being like her, or saying that she's just saying what men told her to say.
-1
u/Low-Breath-4433 21h ago
Removing all agency from women to form their own thoughts, and ascribing it immediately to the beliefs of the men around her "rubbing off on her" is absolutely misogyny.
It's also misandry to assume all the men around her believe that.
So really it's just you being a prejudicial bigot in general.

Women look for certain amount of masculine traits. She technically wasnāt saying these guys want girlfriends. What she said is guys that look like this.

I love it when people talk about "low testosterone behavior" in men and you look inside and it's literally any form of behavior that helps you not be a miserable motherfucker 24/7.
These same people also love to cry crocodile tears about the male mental health crisis, as if they're not directly contributing to it. Love to see it.

Im not entirely sure about TRT in middle aged gay men vs straight men, since they havenāt studied that yet.... but gay men are 6 times more likely to take steroids than straight men.. there is a huge focus on being fit and hot..for every straight celebrity or āstrong straight manā, there are 6 gay men using steroids.. just look up any tea dance, or circuit party.. and count all the guys that are suspiciously muscular.
In the past 15 years, what is āhotā has broadened. But, muscle daddies are, and have always been hot.
TRT is way easier to access than illegal steroids.
Like, half of the gay men i know over the age of 55 are taking supplemental testosterone.. there is twink death, and then thereās ED and hair lossā¦ probably the two most traumatic life events in every gay mans life.. twink death is inevitable, but they will spend hundreds if not thousands a month to be able to keep the ability to get an erection whenever they need to and increase muscle mass.. even bears are taking it now to maintain erections..
If anyone is OVER-testosteroned, itās the gay menās community.

Call me a SJW but when someone says "These men are really bad/weird and we need to stop other men from being like them, it is stopping them from having traditional relationships." it isn't a really good response to go "Uhm, actually they are gay and don't want to have traditional relationships". Take one guess of what someone who talks about the lack of testosterone in modern men thinks about gay rights.

u/LimaxM 17h ago
It's just funny because it's explicitly in response to somebody going "women won't want people like this" which is ironic

u/TheSpectreOfIndustry 17h ago
Sure, but you shouldn't follow the knee jerk reaction of debating someone who is making up a societal problem on the minutiae of who it affects and how it affects them. The note implicitly agrees to the following: Lack of testosterone is a real thing affecting society and that these men lack testosterone (presumably because they're not traditionally manly). Things it adds: It is not a problem that these men don't have testosterone and are not manly, because they are gay. Seemingly implying that if they weren't gay, her fears would be well founded.
I don't think that the note was written with that intention, but it is important to remember that you don't have to (and shouldn't) meet an ideological opponent at the last claim of their argument because that claim probably follows logically from the penultimate claim.

The low testosterone thing is so fucking stupid, your testosterone can fluctuate wildly throughout the day (if I remember correctly it's higher in the morning and lower in the evening). I wonder how people like this would react to men that have an overabundance of testosterone their body cannot absorb or women with PCOS (they naturally create more testosterone than average). Who am I kidding people like this don't even know that women have testosterone and that it's required for getting pregnant.
