The American Psychological Association has, in its words, issued “its first-ever guidelines for practice with men and boys.” These guidelines “draw on more than 40 years of research showing that traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage.”
Three observations:
1) The last thing American males need today is less masculinity.
If you need proof, ask women who are looking for a husband whether the men they date exhibit too much masculinity, too little masculinity, or just the right amount. I have talked to hundreds of women on my radio show (every week I have a “Male/Female Hour”), at speeches, and in private who are dating to find a spouse. Not one has said men today are too masculine. Virtually all of them have said men today lack masculinity.
And why wouldn’t men lack masculinity? A vast number of boys grow up either with no father or with a father they rarely see. Their lives are dominated by women—their mother, virtually all their teachers, probably their school principal, and probably their therapist.
As if that were not bad enough, many of the single mothers of these American boys are angry at the man who never married them, or at the man who divorced them, or at men in general. In addition, these boys’ women teachers suppress their natural testosterone-driven male behaviors. And now their teachers increasingly tell them they may not even be a boy.
Of course, some men are boors—demanding sex on the first date, sending sex-filled messages, etc. But most men know boorishness is not masculinity. Such behaviors emanate not from masculinity but from poor upbringing and/or the sexual revolution, which taught men and women that the sex drives of men and women are the same.

Ever notice that virtually all “progressive” policies and ideas are contrary to Darwinian law.
This is a good column by Prager. But hope it doesn’t turn into the usual bash American woman so popular on FR.
“American Psychological Association”
How do they retain any credibility after the homo and trans BS? Easy to see where the stereotype of the fruitcake psychiatrist comes from.
I don’t understand. Can’t one just support masculinity? Never saw that as ... in any way ... anti women. It’s not the counter movement to feminism which is often anti men.
Perhaps part of the problem could be all the hormone filled cows milk they drink growing up.??????
I was suggesting the usual angry male freepers (there are about 8 of them) try and refrain from their virulent hatred of American ladies in this thread. I suspect I’ll be disappointed.
Just try to remember that feminism at its core is an anti fertility cult. Women who embrace it are ultimately corrupted and become miserable.

The APA is a disgrace. I refused to become a member long before I retired. “Psychology”, as a whole, is a scam. The ONLY psychology (outside of bona fide medical conditions leading to disfunction) that works is helping people to accept personal responsibility and take control of their lives.
“Masculinity” implies the courage to take a stand and protect one’s family and be a father to one’s children. We need MORE of that, and not less.
They have never had credibility. A pack of charlatans, pure and simple.
‘’was suggesting the usual angry male freepers (there are about 8 of them) try and refrain from their virulent hatred of American ladies in this thread. I suspect I’ll be disappointed.’’
You first post suggested a much broader effort (from a more universal FR group) to condemn women...not just 8 or so.
Now, I understand.
The fact that, for the most part, most therapists are making most of society’s problems WORSE and not better is a HUGELY underreported issue.
One only need to read the titles of recent psychology PhD. dissertations to realize what a bizarre fraud the profession has become. The American Psychological Association was founded by frustrated wannabes who could not get accepted into medical school.
Well, it varies. Sometimes it is the usual assortment of bitter guys but sometimes it expands. The articles themselves, though, are usually spot on as is this one.
Sounds like he was talking about modern feminists, rather than all women, or even all women who have a career and vote.
I support traditional masculinity and femininity on FR.
Some modern feminists are men, also. *shudder*
