    Now if we're talking about not being "strong enough" due to people getting their feelings hurt so easy today, then I might believe it. My pop took a lot of racial taunts back in his day. Especially when he saw Pearl Harbor hit and a kid.

    I would think evolution says just the opposite.

    Lol. Yeah, no.

    40-50 years ago, my father was a strongman. I'm certainly stronger than he is now, though... :tongue:

    I am following in his footsteps, though.

    Is this what millennials are telling themselves to cope with their generation's horribly low trends in strength and hormone levels?

    Hint: it's the sitting around on smart phones and working behind desks, instead of moving heavy *kitten* that's doing it.

    I find my phone difficult to answer when I'm sitting on it.

    That vibrate setting, though... o:)

    OP: If what you said were true, we'd all be dead by now because we'd be too weak to get outta bed. :)
