Hegseth's Hormone Hypothesis: A Misguided Crusade for Masculinity Pete Hegseth's push to test every service member over 30 for low testosterone levels has sparked controversy across the nation.
The Secretary of Defense's initiative is not just about medical necessity but also sends a message about what it means to be a man in the military.
Hegseth's advocacy for universal testosterone screening implies that low testosterone levels are a sign of weakness, perpetuating a toxic narrative that equates masculinity with aggression and dominance.
