APA Labels 'Traditional Masculinity' as 'Harmful'
They want us to become pajama boys who readily accept the GDC’s yoke of oppression.

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."

"Woe to those who call evil good, and good evil... Therefore, as tongues of fire lick up straw and as dry grass sinks down in the flames, so their roots will decay and their flowers blow away like dust; for they have rejected the law of the Lord Almighty and spurned the word of the Holy One of Israel." - Isaiah 5:20,24

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.

“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.



Let me help you out. Which way did you come in?

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.

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.

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