The Pill is known to cause women to prefer men with less masculine faces which is a proxy for testosterone level. Instead of plastics and various chemicals in the environment could the decline be caused by generations of women selecting against higher levels of testosterone in their mates resulting in the modern nu-male?

Modern women don't want to "be impregnated by" anyone. It's not conducive to keeping your job. Plus who wants to ruin her figure on account of some shmuck who will dump you the minute he sees you gain 1 ounce? No, thanks! Child free is the way to go in this messed up, backwards world.
But modern men want to. All men act like a gay, especially millennials and zlennials. And modern men want to get preggers by men.
We could literally cease to exist and they wouldn't care. So why should we care about them?

That, (it ends up in your tap water) and
BPA
.
Look up PHTHALATES.
Tons of
xenoestrogens
.
rBST & rBGH in meat and dairy.
Your air freshners are loaded with phthalates.
The plasticizers are too: when you cook food in the microwave, remove the film, like I do. Clingwrap releases them into your foods.
Your incense, your AXE body spray, all perfumes since the 1997 revisions etc. everything you use that is fragranced/perfumed (in cars, laundry, fabric sheets, softener) ALL contain xenoestrogens.
Plus soy being in most foods.
This is not by accident, btw. The same that fluoride in the water is meant to make people docile and subservient. Except it has the opposite effect on women!

Lack of physical activity and living on your cell phones is probably the cause. Shit diets, lack of sleep. Excessive stress from sedentary jobs.
You know, one night of bad sleep tanks your natural testosterone production. I think it’s these bad lifestyle factors because they’re so prevalent. That’s why we have 20 and 30 year olds on TRT.

It probably improves completely after a few nights of good sleep. But I bet the effect lingers a few days. Generally if I have a real bad night of sleep, I feel it the day of and then the next day I’m kinda off even if I sleep real well.

I think there must be a lot of reasons and they're all interacting and amplifying the effects of each other. The age of men is over. A few pockets will remain in places like Afghanistan but they will be hunted down.

you have cherry-picked and are applying a single study in a specific geo area generally to the entire population. there are other factors as well across an entire array of causes.
"it
has been suggested
that such use
may
alter mate preferences." -

That is not their conclusion but their reason for performing the study. Their conclusion is that, "Our data (A) provide the first experimental evidence that initiation of pill use in women causes changes in facial preferences and (B) documents downstream effects of these changes on real-life partner selection."
