Excellent! We never used contraceptives (hormonal, barrier, etc.) and I am grateful for that every time I think about it. Another thing that may be (probably is) affecting both men and women due to widespread use of “the pill,” is the fact that it’s in the water system (at least city systems).
Thanks for another great article with your usual alternate and insightful analysis. The following now makes a lot more sense:
My daughter at 20 years old was told by her doctor start using birth control pills, even though she was not sexually active, because it was good for her. She is my daughter so she immediately found a new doctor. But WTF.
As I learned from a submariner and great leader in the business world, the warriors of ancient Greece would pray, "May I be strong enough to prevail in battle, and tender enough to be a father to my child." Too many women bounce between brutes and wimps. From your essay, it seems that the pill may be a major villain behind the mating hell this century has become.
Natural selection has biased a woman in favor of getting pregnant with a man likely to prevail in battle, a bias that I guess prevails among our mammals cousins. But we're more than mere animals. Women are capable of withholding sex over at least a cycle or two, to see if the alpha rizz that made their heart race is a hero that will be a great father, or a love-em-and-leave-em cad, or worse, an abuser. After all, the first person we must protect our families from is ourselves; that is, we must have our strength under control (which is the meaning of the word "meek," as opposed to having no strength to begin with.) So just maybe premarital continence was about more than just avoiding disease and unwanted pregnancy, concerns arguably met by technology. Maybe it was to enable women to make a cool judgement about the fitness of their swains without being under the biochemical spell of sexual intimacy. Save the intoxication of love until you're sure actually loves you, till death do you part. Your children will thank you.
Yes!! Excellent point, albeit a scary one. In the past, women have typically selected comptetent, competitive men. The kind that is now, by too many women, labeled as "toxic" because that's what they have been taught.
Women on birth control pills also can't smell the right mate. Smell is presumably one way of determining whether the man she is with is biochemically compatible. Once off the pill, the husband/boyfriend may smell bad or "wrong" to her.
Because of all this insanity, I feel the need to actively support my son's masculinity (I.e. his right to be manly), whether he needs it or not.
Well done Ben. What an interesting and frightening thought. I have wondered about the beta-male with girl boss wife, your article brings in a variable I had never thought about.
Now I'm curious to see what faces are deemed masculine vs effeminate. I wonder if a large Adam's apple is one of them. I remember when mine first appeared in high school...and I thought something was wrong with me. (It remains a bitch to shave...)
At the YMCA sauna last night I saw (for the very first time) a youngster with two horizontal scars below the nipples. Ive only seen photos of that scar tissue. Manipulated and misguided trans--probably autistic or a mother with Cluster B personality disorders--but I did look for an Adam's apple. Not there.

The doctor probably got a sales commission.
The doctor also was disturbed my daughter was not vaxxed 😵💫
Your daughter should be disturbed the doctor was vaxxed.

It’s all part of the depopulation plan of us useless eaters
And the hormones given to so called gender confused minors are even worse
I don't know what's worse, the hormones or the propaganda that makes them "gender confused".

The rise in bi and alternative sexual orientation can be linked in animal studies to the exposure to
Estrogen like chemicals in vitro.
Whole generations changed because of a pill.
Mate, that open is fucking epic... The rest of it not so bad either. You toxic masculine mofo....
Thanks big guy
The pill was the first foray of Big Pharma of the daily use medication treadmill, which is their exact business model to this day.
unpersoning is back in style
making the puppet masters smile
the ne’er-do-wells are disappeared
to stop their dissent which is feared
.
let’s write them out of his-story
their absence a big mystery
people don’t know what they don’t know
‘cause puppet masters stole the show
.
wikipedia and the rest
fulfill puppet masters request
opposition slandered or gone
and chosen few on which they fawn
.
facts excised or get highly skewed
we the people don’t know we’re screwed
reality is what they say
disagree and they’ll make you pay
.
your existence will be removed
and thus your charges all disproved
.

Great piece Ben.

And now they are giving to minors like tic yaks
Hey! If I didn't have so many bones I'd be noodly! I am skinny, but not muscle-less. A person can tell I've done work and faced things.
I don't know if I agree the shape of the face is a determiner except for with the women?
I've seen a few dough boy looking dudes who didn't act it
Just because they weren't lean, mean, fighting machines like me doesn't mean they aren't masculine!
fair enough
