Low T? What is that?



A bunch of idiots (mostly seems to come from the alt-right side, see also some men's rights groups and "red pill" content) have determined that testosterone levels correspond to political views and the value of the male person. High T individuals, according to them, are near universally conservative, low T individuals are liberal. Part of the thought (and helps to exhibit the idiocy) is that women are liberal, women have lower testosterone than men, therefore low testosterone is the reason some men have betrayed the rest of men by being liberal. It's best to ignore these morons.


Beta-male posturing. Stands for "Low Testosterone".


Sigh. The right-wing obsession with "traditional masculinity" is so fascinating and disappointing to me.
