Our girls are hitting puberty six years early

Oh? What’s his supposed correct age for this?

I was taught in college that girls reach puberty earlier now than in prior centuries in part because they are exposed to light for more hours per day thanks to electrification, and puberty is in part triggered by an internal clock keeping track of how much light you’ve been exposed to in your lifetime.

Of course we leaned a lot of shit in college before the internet which turns out to be nonsense now. But I believe exposure to light is more important than we generally recognize. If you trace our evolution back to the beginning, you’ll find light sensitive cells far far earlier than anything involving actual vision.

I learned something new today.

I also did hear that girls go through puberty sooner because girls now are fatter than they used to be due to a number of factors.

Ya, my biology professor had a theory that it was because of estrogen being introduced to the water supply through birth control. After the pill was introduced breast size started increasing and girls started reaching puberty earlier. Makes sense.

So! It's actually kinda crazy how accurate your professor might be. Because progesterone, the chemical in birth control, does indeed break down into estrogen under the right circumstances. The components of broken down progesterone pass through the body via urine, enter the water system, and - this is the important part - is far too small and difficult to be collected or filtered out of the water.

So people taking birth control have absolutley added an insane amount of estrogen to the water supply. And most tap water now does have low levels of estrogen in it because people have been taking birth control for 60+ years.

In that same time, the average age of puberty has continued to fall.

So, it sounds a bit wild, but that theory is far more feasible than most realize.

Today, the average teenager in this country has 50% of the sperm count, 50% of the testosterone as a 65-year-old man. Our girls are hitting puberty six years early, and that’s bad, but also our parents aren’t having children. Parents who want to have children do not have access. I have seven children. I feel that God has blessed me with that and I can’t imagine how different my life would be if I did not have that blessing.

RFK jr counting teenager sperm?

our parents aren’t having children

If someone doesn't have children, they're... Not a parent.

Unless ~~you~~ RFK means people with a child already, which makes no sense (and never did) except to religious nuts.

People aren't cats to have litters of up to 6 kittens, and kids don't grow up in 6 months.

They need to be fed, clothed, medicated and educated for 18+ years!

P.S. If you dump your kids out on their 18th birthday, spoilers! You're a bad parent.

Let's all send sperm to the white house to contribute to the data collection. I'm willing to throw in some fresh Canadian sperm to help, and I'll use nudes of the US first lady to jerk off! Let's show rfk our support by literally drowning him in sperm!
