The decline of testosterone levels in American males is a sad and troubling side effect of the societal emasculation of men. This trend, known as "Oprahfication", is disturbing. Modern men are being taught that they should be sensitive, more feminine. Metrosexuality is heralded as one of the great leaps forward by men. Men (and men-in-training) are deterred from such pursuits as marksmanship, boxing, and physical prowess. Everything manly is dumbed-down so that everyone has the same opportunity. This is pure Bravo Sierra.

Now, just because metrosexual poster boy, David Beckham is confident enough to have his mug plastered all over England, with a milk moustache (which looks more like the remnants of a blowjob than the remnants of a glass of fat-filled Vitamin D moo juice) doesn't mean that all men need to embrace their more...um...stylish side.

I swear to God, American men are one episode of Oprah away from evolving a vagina.

Obesity, declining activity among males (e.g., not being able to play tag or dodgeball at recess), and several other factors equal increased mortality for men, along with greater costs related to healthcare (less testosterone = more Viagra).

The fact that boys, and young men, are not given as many opportunities to play sports, along with the growing popularity of video games, kids not walking to school, and the abolition of mens' sports in colleges and universities dooms men to becoming the frailer sex.

Face it, men are becoming second class citizens.

Oh, and Title IX might be partially to blame.

Title IX was meant to encourage increased participation by women in college sports. In reality, it has cut a wide swath through mens' athletics. This is due to the fact that colleges are required to have the same percentage of spots on their athletic teams, men to women, as are enrolled in the college. Therefore, if the fictional college, with an enrollment of 1,000, has a 50/50 ratio of women to men, there need to be an equal number of men and women participating in sports. This is the reason that Boston University dumped football, that UCLA dumped Mens' Swimming, and countess other schools have let the hammer fall on their sports programs.

The bottom line for sports is this: If there is a demand for a team, an interest among the students, then the university should consider funding the sport. These decisions should be made for the benefit of the student body, not by a bunch of lawyers trying to exact a pound of flesh because of some perceived inequity.
