Well, now they’ve gone and done it: the American Psychological Association has declared that manhood is a mental disorder.
...The main thrust of the subsequent research is that traditional masculinity—marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression—is, on the whole, harmful.
... “What is gender in the 2010s?” asks Ryon McDermott, PhD, a psychologist at the University of South Alabama who also helped draft the men’s guidelines. “It’s no longer just this male-female binary.”
... It’s interesting to parse these differences and think about what they mean. The point here is that this APA press release citing the violence of “men” as a reason to demonize traditional masculinity is playing fast and loose with the statistics.
UPDATE: The more I think about it, the more Soviet this seems. Dissent from gender ideology (not just the transgender stuff, but the establishment’s view of what men and women are)? Well, then you must be insane. Expert opinion says so!
UPDATE.2: David French tells a good story from his own life about masculinity and being a “grown man.” He tells the story — which is amazing — and concludes with this:
We do our sons no favors when we tell them that they don’t have to answer that voice inside them that tells them to be strong, to be brave, and to lead. We do them no favors when we let them abandon the quest to become a grown man when that quest gets hard. Yes, we do them no favors when we’re not sensitive to those boys who don’t conform to traditional masculinity, but when it comes to the crisis besetting our young men, traditional masculinity isn’t the problem; it can be part of the cure.

I’m shocked that the pussies from the APA would denounce manhood as being a dysfunction.
Shocked I tell you.
Then get the hell OUT.
It really is for your own safety.
There are just too many good-ol-boy rednecks that would not be able to "restrain" themselves when some sneering soy-boy tells them they should be "sensitive to those boys who don’t conform to traditional masculinity."
They could very well misinterpret what was said to something "completely different” and would not be interested in an "explanation." .
I see what they did there...Turning God’s created order to its opposite. Their day is coming sooner than they think.
Still looking for the term “Satire”.
Manhood is a mental disorder, but gay, lesbian and transgender are all normal. Screw off!

Psychology is a fraud. A fraud motivated by the usual criminal desire for unearned power and money. Our civilization could only benefit by stamping out this pseudoscientific atrocity.
But men having sexual desires for other men is not a disorder?
However, when the next dem is POTUS, you can guarantee it.
They're putting their pieces in place.
I'm ready. Not looking forward to it, but ready.
