Males are the disappearing ‘gender’?

So I got up today and went to check my email. When I did so I saw this.

I thought that this article would be very interesting. My answer to the question "Men or Women?" was automatically women. I thought it might be talking about abortion of female babies, feminicide in export processing zones like those in Northern Mexico, or maybe even violence against women in general.

I was wrong. When I clicked the link up came a video from Fox News discussing how males are the disappearing "gender".

I put gender in quotes because sex and gender are different things. The easiest way to describe the difference is that sex is between the legs and gender is between the ears.

The titles at the bottom said things like:

Common Chemicals Feminizing Entire Male Gender

Study: Male Humans and Animals Vanishing due to chemical exposure

Then there was a selection of pictures entitled: Male Gender in Danger?

Not sure If you can see it but yes all of them are ‘wearing’ lipstick.

As pointed out all of the pictures are wearing lipstick. Because what is the first thing feminized males do run to the local Shoppers Drugmart and purchase lipstick, especially when they are ferocious wild animals prior to said feminization.

At one point you can hear the other news anchors in the room laughing. The woman who is reporting this tells them that it isn’t funny. The laughing man say "No it’s not funny and you’re a woman. For the men in the room it’s really not funny." As in "How could you possibly understand? You’re just a woman".

The study in question found male deer with deformed sex organs, alligators with low testosterone and hermaphrodite polar bears.

But the biggest question was not about what we could do to reduce chemical usage for the good of the environment? This question is asked at the end but not for the good of the environment but to stave off the long term effects on males.

The biggest question was

Drumroll please………

Should men be worried?

The answer:

Male reproduction is very resilient.

Thank you once again for reminding us of that.
