Testosterone isn’t like… You need a certain level to be a real man or something.
Hormones are very complex but here is something.
Low status males have more testosterone.
Men who have children have lower testosterone.
It isn’t as simple as more=better.
It likely is, in part, related to aggression when too high.
Lower levels as men get older doesn’t really seem to be a problem except advertising tells men it means they aren’t good enough anymore and definitely need to buy their products to increase it.
As a feminist I am equally appalled at the attack on men’s bodies as those on women.
I think there has been this big shift to constantly tell men there is something wrong with them and to sell them a fix.
It’s disgusting.
I watch TV sometimes (antenna, and mostly Xena or x-files) in the evening and it’s non stop erectile dysfunction medication commercials or hair loss. Or testosterone boosting supplements.
Jesus , leave men alone. They have enough shit to worry about without making them insecure about existing. The commercials are so dystopian from my female perspective.
I always find it funny the reactions of men who seek hair loss treatment with a real medical service and learn that they’re most likely going bald because genetically they have way too much testosterone.
Double funnies when conservatives have to face the fact that the treatment for their bald head is hormone therapy and the irony of taking hormone blockers for gender affirming therapy never crosses their mind…
Happily married man here. Those commercials are silly, but they’re so constant that they get annoying. But someome must be giving them money if they are buying tv ads.

Idk how they make men feel but nothing good.
Getting some strong Andrew Tate’s vibes here

They have to be making a ton of money or those commercial spots are selling cheap. Idk.
There is a blue chew commercial at almost every single commercial break. Multiple versions too.
