"our parents aren't having children" (-rfk jr; spoken like the true moron he is)




RFK Jr: "Today the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone of a 65 year old man. Our girls are hitting puberty 6 years early ... our parents aren't having children."

The population of the US has doubled in my lifetime, the population of the earth has increased even more. Underpopulation is not a problem.

I guess she knew best.

She had a wicked sense of humor.

Too late for me to read this, but for those interested it seems to be a great article on the subject.

Conclusion: A Balanced View So, what’s the verdict? Yes, some studies show notable declines in men’s sperm counts and testosterone levels over the past several decades – and this is a legitimate public health concern worthy of further research and action. No, it does not mean we are facing imminent extinction or that today’s young men are half as fertile as their grandfathers in any practical sense. The reality is nuanced:

RFK Jr.’s specific claim that a teenager has half the sperm count of a 60-something man is inaccurate – in fact, young men have higher sperm counts than older men (age causes a decline). The comparison should be across generations at the same age, not youth vs elderly.

Even if sperm counts have declined, the average man today is not infertile. Typical counts are still tens of millions per mL. Fertility in the population hasn’t collapsed; birth rates are down mostly due to later and fewer pregnancies by choice.

It’s still crazy to believe this is RFK’s son.
