Can someone explain why this comment was flagged to death (I vouched for it)? These are all mainstream publications. It's not exactly a controversial claim that the sperm counts and testosterone levels of US men are in decline. In fact, it's backed up by years and years of epidemiological data. I'm not convinced by the parent's assertion that these trends have "feminized" men, but low testosterone levels are associated with sundry negative health outcomes (heart disease, depression, etc), with significant evidence for causality.

The comment author's original (GP) comment had some extraneous political references, but nothing flag-worthy. I'm fairly liberal, and yet I'm disappointed by how many fellow liberal react irrationally to Jordan Peterson's name. Disagreement is fine, but this urge to aggressively shut down any discussion of issues like gender relationships, or the role of men and women in society, is not a healthy thing for our society. Yes, neo-Nazis don't merit a platform, but counter to what he may have read from your Twitter pals, Peterson is far from being a neo-Nazi (and has routinely railed against Nazis both old and new).

I can have a rational discussion with my strongly feminist wife about these issues, even when we disagree. Yet people are shutting down for a comment for providing well-sourced data on the decline of testosterone levels and sperm counts. Frustrating.
