QUESTION: A high level of the male hormone testosterone leads to baldness in men.

True or False?

ANSWER

False. This is a myth. The rate of hair loss in men is largely a matter of genetic inheritance, not testosterone level. Nor is it a matter of too much sun, too much stress, or wearing a hat too often. Looking at your ancestors and relatives may give you clues to your own chances of balding.

The Manhood Game cards were created and developed by Dr. George Simons as a way to reframe mens perceptions of themselves.

As Dr. Simons writes in his intro post:

Life is often played as a game in which mens welfare is a pawn to be sacrificed. Today I invite you to join me in another game, diversophy Manhood, a game for reframing mens perceptions of themselves, for refreshing their mission in life, and disarming social biases that attack male health and limit the possible in their own eyes and actions. Each day I will post a new card from this game, a snippet of wisdom to GUIDE our exploration, a RISK to face, facts to test our SMARTS, a CHOICE to make, or an experience to SHARE.

We are always looking for people to write about the changing roles of men in the 21st century. The Manhood Game Cards make great writing prompts. What is your view on how mens roles are changing? Can you write a post (300-750 words) that tells us your own unique point of view? If so, please join our writers community and click here to submit via our submissions portal.
