They want us to become pajama boys who readily accept the GDC’s yoke of oppression.

The relentless war to pussify men continues.

quote:

the January article from the APA goes on to read. “Men socialized in this way are less likely to engage in healthy behaviors.”

Translation to dude: "Men socialized in this way are less likely to submit, bow, kneel, scrape, etc."

I sure as hell am glad my father and a whole bunch of his contemporaries displayed

stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression

. He slogged across Europe for two years dragging a BAR with him so we all don't have to speak German and goosestep down Main Street whenever there is a parade scheduled. A little "toxic masculinity" can be a good thing.

Agree with the APA. Nothing screams psychological health like a trans-gender adolescent. All that healthy introspection and self discovery!

They have the nerve to use the terms "homophobia" and "trans phobia"!? Have those quack pop-psychology terms made it into the DSM?

The DSM is published by the American Psychiatric Association. Different organization.

Stupid.

Pretty sure we have one or two psychologists on here? What do you say to this bullshit?

Incoming! Another shot fired in the war against men.

Nothing makes me hate leftists more than listening to them.

“in 2007, researchers led by James Mahalik, PhD, of Boston College, found that the more men conformed to masculine norms, the more likely they were to consider as normal risky health behaviors such as heavy drinking, using tobacco and avoiding vegetables, and to engage in these risky behaviors themselves”

Yeah, so....

I suspect there are positive attributes associated with masculine norms. That wouldn't fit the agenda.
I drink (moderately), quit tobacco 20 years ago and like vegetables.
I am also gainfully employed, don't use any form of recreational or non-prescription drugs, pay my taxes, have never been arrested, come home to my family every evening after work, help in my community, help at the gun club and stop to help those in need. I suspect that last sentence applies to a significant percentage of this forum. If that is masculinity and it's a problem, well, I will deal with it.

Hey Sprinkles, how about you worry about the fact that the mental health system is non existent in this country before you go worrying if I avoid vegetables or not.

Oh wait a minute, it is much easier to deal with made up issues, isn’t it?

While the left might not see this yet, when this scenario finally comes around they will certainly jump on the idea - if there isn’t blood running in the streets already.

Bring it.

In a pile of empty brass?

That is how they would find me.

The AMA does not represent the majority of physicians. In fact many of its members disagree with various political agendas as well as their attitudes on gun control. The same holds true with the American Psychological Association.

My new T-shirt is on order.

Toxic Masculinity

Oh, hell yeah.

I second that emotion.

Cold.

Anger.

Bring it, motherfuckers.

Toxic masculinity built the modern world, and at some point will likely have to rebuild it.
