The right loves throwing around the word “insane” when they talk about the Left.

Uh-huh.

    They’re grasping at straws to scapegoat assorted “woke” shit for low birth rates because it couldn’t possibly be late-stage capitalism causing people not to want to have kids.

      Two things can be true at the same time. Late-stage capitalism is responsible for financially discouraging parents from having children, and fertility rates are declining due to a decline in reproductive health.

      Fertility rates are being affected by food additives and pollutants, and RFK Jr. Is a complete nutjob who pulls statistics out of his herniated ass.

      Don’t fall for the black and white rhetoric Republicans are trying to pull. They are trying to get leftists to say ‘these statistics are ridiculous and therefore microplastics and environmental damages by corporations are not a relevant issue.’

        It looks like there’s a lot of causes, but yeah obesity is a big one for post pubescent pre geriatric gynecomastia. Apparently most boys get temporary gynecomastia mid puberty though.

        Like I’m all for trying to deal with the endocrine issues the youth are currently facing. It’s just that I get the strong feeling they’re going to be far more interested in things like banning birth control and estrogen replacement than things like estrogen destructive enzymes in wastewater treatment (which would also stop us from changing frogs’ sexes too much) or reducing dairy consumption. It’s clear Kennedy doesn’t care about science when it goes against his gut instinct.
