Scott Galloway has voiced strong criticism of the U.S. military's new initiative to screen service members for testosterone levels. He argues that the problem is not low testosterone but a lack of purpose, education, work, and relationships among young men.
“Well, I mean, if part of, if part of healthcare coverage is like, I'm on testosterone because I think it's good for my brain and my heart health. And it, uh, quite frankly, just makes me feel younger.”
“But this is just performative stupidity. In my opinion.”
“Young men don't have or our military. And men don't have a testosterone problem. They have a loneliness problem.”
“70% of men that walk into a recruiting office right now for the armed services, don't qualify because of obesity or mental health problems.”
