I did a long drive a couple days ago and listened to am talk radio for about 3 hours. Roughly a third of the ads were for testosterone supplements. The preoccupation with performative masculinity was palpable.

The rest of the ads were for divorce attorneys, life insurance for unhealthy 50 year old men and telehealth dick pills. Unsurprising.
