American Psychological Association Labels 'Traditional Masculinity' as 'Harmful'
Townhall
For the first time ever, the APA has issued a set of guidelines for how to approach men and boys, specifically, within a counseling practice. The new APA protocols for mental health professionals working with men and boys--released in August and available to read in their entirety in a document titled APA Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men--were recently summed up on the APA’s website by the statement that “research finds that traditional masculinity is, on the whole, harmful.”

American Psychological Association links 'masculinity ideology' to homophobia, misogyny
NBC News
The new guidelines, highlighted in this month’s issue of Monitor on Psychology, which is published by the APA, linked this ideology to a series of stark statistics: Men commit approximately 90 percent of all homicides in the U.S., they are far more likely than women to be arrested and charged with intimate partner violence in the U.S., and they are four times more likely than women to die of suicide worldwide.
it’s settled science.

I’m going to take a wild guess that townhall.com is distorting what the APA actually said.

Men is pretty broad. Can they break it down further?

I love the irony in this. What if a biological woman now wants to transition into man that can bench twice their body weight and have a foot long beard? What then? The APA is propaganda and I’d love for them to answer that question.

I included a far left news source as well just in case someone not suffering from toxic masculinity was triggered.

Bet I could tack on another statistic to this that the APA wouldn’t want to publish.

If psychologists can focus on supporting men in breaking free of masculinity roles that don’t help them, the effects could spread beyond just mental health for men, McDermott says. “If we can change men,” he stated, “we can change the world.”
Uh.
WTF?

Wonder why they didn’t break it down into more distinguishing characteristics.

Traditional masculinity, harmful.
Sucking dick, or cutting it off and pretending you're a woman, totally OK.

Someone needs to see a psychologist for re-education.
