Are Endocrine Disruptors Destroying Masculinity?

By now, you’ve probably seen the memes saying chemicals in our water, and all around us, are turning men into women.

While a lot of these are exaggerations, at the same time, there’s a lot of truth in the narrative.

A huge part of this is caused by chemicals known as endocrine disruptors, which have come to saturate our environment. The really hard part is that they’re so common, avoiding them and the side effects they cause hasn’t been easy.

But things may be changing, and there are pushes, including from the government level, to ban many of the materials responsible for these chemical toxins.
