Comments on Testosterone

In a 2022 interview, James Cameron made controversial remarks about testosterone, stating that it is "a toxin you must be cleansed of." The comments, which were widely reported by media outlets such as *Forbes* and *A Voice for Men*, sparked debate about the portrayal of masculinity in Hollywood and the influence of filmmakers on public discourse. The interview, which took place during a discussion about the themes of *Avatar*, drew criticism from some quarters for its perceived alignment with anti-masculinity narratives.

Response and Controversy

The response to James Cameron's remarks was mixed. Some critics and commentators praised his willingness to challenge traditional gender norms, while others argued that his comments oversimplified complex biological and social issues. A detailed analysis of the controversy can be found in an article on *Forbes*, which examines the context of his statements and the broader implications for discussions about gender and health.

Misandry

Misandry is the hatred of, pathological aversion to, or prejudice against men. The first recorded use of the term dates from the 19th century. At the present time misandry is widespread in Western society but may be in decline.

These days it seems you don't need to look far to see negativity focused at men. What is often known as casual misandry permeates western civilisation where many men and women commonly make negative statements about men without apparently regarding this as a problem or being challenged by anyone else present. This problem has steadily deteriorated and we have now reached the point that books with titles such as Are Men Necessary? When Sexes Collide and The End of Men can be published without significant objection from the wider community.

Negative and inaccurate portrayals of men and boys have permeated mainstream media and online knowledge repositories such as Wikipedia, where the bias is particularly evident. Wikipedia editors routinely write negative commentaries about men and Wikipedia admins protect those commentaries while censoring counter-narratives that might show less biased, more accurate information. This practice is reinforced by feminist editing gangs who congregate in regular 'edit-a-thons' with the sole purpose of increasing feminist ideology within Wikipedia articles, and to censor male-positive discourse and research on men. In a nutshell those in control of Wikipedia have succeeded in deplatforming much reliable information about men and boys.
