Blog #35 - Ok Boomer

Testosterone levels have fallen in men, 1% every year since 1980.

There is a growing trend among younger generations, of mocking older generations. Some of it is in good fun, and some is genuine anger because they blame the older generations for their problems. "OK boomer" is a commonly used phrase, uttered with much more distain than it should be. There has always been tension amongst different generations and most of it was playful in it's nature but these days there's been a shift.

I was taught as a child to "respect my elders" and honestly, you're a fool if you don't. Not that every old person deserves a thrown and a crown but the odds are, they have much more life experience and are much wiser than you.

These days there is real anger between them and jealousy from younger generations. They see "Boomers" as greedy and irresponsible.

With most complex issues, the truth tends to be somewhere in the middle but in this case, I'm sorry to say, the younger generations are just wrong. There's a reason for it however, and while it is true that millennials and younger are "soft", it's not actually their fault.

Despite the misguided, feminist slogans, the world desperately needs men. Unfortunately there aren't many being raised anymore. A big reason is fatherless homes. Without a father figure, a boy does not learn how to be a man.

Many single mothers are fantastic and do a great job but the idea that they can be both a mother and a father is completely wrong. There have been countless studies on the subject and it's just a fact that men who come from fatherless homes have a much harder life and are often more feminine.

We also have other issues contributing to the feminization of men in our culture. The demonization of masculinity, the push of gender ideology and the LGBTQ narrative and the fact that fathers work much longer hours to keep food on the table and therefore spend less time with their sons.

There are other issues though, that are not being discussed and they are much bigger issues than the social contagions of leftist ideology...

Testosterone levels have fallen in men, 1% every year since 1980.

Sons have weaker grip strength than their fathers and if you're a man in your 20s, you have weaker grip strength than your grandmothers had.

75 % of military aged men in the West would not qualify to serve due to mental health issues.

The average sperm count in men has dropped by 50% in the last 40 years.

42% of Gen Z men have diagnosed mental health issues and 57% are taking medication for anxiety and/or depression.

The fact is, you are weaker than older generations in every way. It's not your fault and believe it or not, the older generations want to see these issues fixed but they exist and it's time to acknowledge it.

If you're the victim type, you might say 'well, they're the ones who set the world up this way' but that's not true. There are a handful of very powerful people who have done and continue to do, terrible things but they're doing it to everyone. Boomers included. The fact is, there is evil in the world. We can't expect it to go away because it is the product of a sinful nature that we have all possessed since Adam and Eve.

The world is a dark place and a big reason for that is a lack of masculine men willing to step up as leaders in our countries and communities. One of the most important ways to accomplish that is to respect your elders and learn from them. A degree from a university is not as valuable as the wisdom of a well lived Boomer. We have a well of information and knowledge just sitting, waiting to be asked. Humble yourself and ask them.
