The worm is turning. The interminable testicular reign has so wounded the biosphere with "bigger, stronger, faster" that in the last 50 years, average human sperm concentrations dropped by 51.6 percent. It's active, if unintended, auto-castration. Perhaps it's intelligent design by the only god that sounds even half likely to be - 'Mother Nature'

P.S. And then there's Serge Scherbatskoy who sort of sides with the half-likely god. In his words: "I would like to share my conclusion that men are extremely useful for these activities:
Maybe men will change, like women have... maybe they will become less aggressive because they will be allowed to be human beings... maybe they will calm the hell down because of cultural factors, over time ... So many modern independent "successful" women have no clue about the history of the women's liberation movement, the thing that brought them to the place of (relative) freedom they enjoy... Maybe that's a win... ? Means something's working? The thing about the testosterone drop, I wonder, could well be contributing partly to the changes we see in gender and sexuality with the younger lot... I wonder if there are any studies about this connection! Though as you know, I do feel - since I am surrounded in my family by such beautiful boys and men - that this mess (greed, war, hate etc) is mainly from the failings of the dominant culture (insert the P word) that is so... basic.
Superb! So much about the history of feminism that i learn from you. And you articulate with such sensitivity about all that so many of us feel so deeply about. Love reading your pieces, Tara and I remember the tshirts you had designed for us for Kaleidoscope. 🙌🙌

¶Killing things.
