I also disagree with the quote, because it doesn't take into account that the average testosterone levels are falling about 1% a year: https://www.medichecks.com/blogs/testosterone/why-do-gen-z-a...

There's a lot of effects that this would have on society but I think one of them would be that more partner-less men that are "satisfied", by that I mean not willing to do things that "decay your country" from the inside like violence and rape due to sexual frustration (which is what I believe the author is implying). The increasing prevalence of porn probably also contributes. Further evidence is that violent and property crime have plummeted over the last few decades: https://www.pewresearch.org/short-reads/2020/11/20/facts-abo...

"Decay" of the country might come in other forms though. Lower testosterone also increases risk of depression, which is well known to be on the rise.
