Traditional Masculinity stormed the beaches at Normandy. Saved the free world, which is now flirting with the very authoritarianism they fought and died fighting. Lord have mercy.

I'd like to amend my previous comment on another article.

The American Academy of Pediatrics, the American Medical Association, and the American Psychological Association are all clown shows.

And I'm a big fan of traditional masculinity. Someone has to take out the trash, mow the lawn, move heavy stuff, open pickle jars, remove large hairy spiders...and other such manly endeavors.

Fortunately "traditionally masculine" men (at least the ones I know) are the least likely demographic to go quietly along with any sort of reeducation or extermination.

"Women now make up 58 percent of APA's membership and hold more than half of governance positions." - so no surprised here.

From one libertarian to another: I wouldn't be so flippant about kids stuffing other kids into lockers. School bullying is a product of the authoritarian school system, which in turn is a product of disrespect for youth rights. Should we be surprised that the general population is so submissive to arbitrary authority after most of them were subjected to adult tyranny during the first two decades of life? Please consider the cause of youth rights:

I guess you would expect this from the group that says men can become women.

Absolutely disgusting. The worlds need more men. Too many males (including Jenner) and not enough men

Sounds like another perfect excuse they'll use to put people into re-education camps.

Traditional masculinity officially labeled "harmful" by the American Psychological Association - and with that one decision the American Psychological Society fully exposes its field of expertise for the political quackery that it is.

Traditional masculinity is a very broad thing; are we talking cross-cultural patriarchy stuff or just western christian influenced masculinity? It may be cause lot of hand wringing in your local safespace, but youre going to need it if you want to build a bridge, call the police, get your plumbing fixed, or remain a sovereign nation. Probably add eat food to that list, too.

Now that they’ve officially removed the “logical” from their repertoire, the association is perfectly named.

This article from a bunch of pussy drs and therapists. You cannot extract masculinity from society, the will be no balance. Men are born to conquer their world. How it should be.

Clint Eastwood's new movie "Cry Macho" is incredible. Without spoiling it too much I hope, I started to notice a surprising array of types of machismo at work in the film, which is now my favorite of his. It's on HBO max.

Now, when we are trying to figure out which model of traditional masculinity they are now officially pathologizing, should we be thinking Ralph Kramden, Ward Cleaver, Richie Cunningham or Arthur Fonzarelli? Han Solo was my role model when I was 9, and then, naturally Indiana Jones (from the first movie) was great. On the other hand, I also thought George Bailey was a admirable man, but he wasn't much like Han Solo or Indiana Jones at all. Maybe this should come with some suggested dos be like X and don't be Y like when trying to decide how one best can avoid traditional masculinity. (and yes, I know these characters are all white … isn't that implied in the concept itself?)

Getting ones head stuffed into toilets and having your underwear pulled over your head are all good things. My women friends also made me into a strong woman because they were relentless with being mean at times. I am grateful to them!

The American Psychological Association is in dire need of psychological counseling. I wonder if any of their members are traditionally masculine. If so, they need to be dismissed as harmful men and a potential menace to society.

Western Civilization is doomed. Does anybody know any good Standard Chinese Language teachers? I'm already working on Russian.

I had several friends in high school who were injured while being transported between flowers by bees.
