If it can’t ultimately be reduced to physics and mathematics, it’s not science.
+++++
My position as well but I would add TESTABLE with result of tests supporting the scientific theory 100% of the time within small measurement errors.

Current starring Science theories that fail this test:

Climate Change
HIV virus causes AIDS

‘What next...advocating castration before puberty so we can have a generation of eunuch pajama boys.’

well, not that far a leap from circumcision, (oral suction or otherwise) ostensibly performed to help dull the sexual urge in boys...

"Students study psychology to figure out is wrong with themselves and then they rationalize their abnormalities."

Yep, it's whack jobs studying psychology to try to understand themselves. Gays are entering gender studies for the same reason. There's no screening, so the field gets populated with nutjobs.

“Traditional” masculinity is not about the man or boy “suppressing” their emotions, but about controlling their emotions instead of letting emotions overflow and control them. It is about decision making that does not “suppress” emotions but is not made just because of emotions.

“Traditional” masculinity is not “naturally aggressive” indescriminately but is also not afraid of being aggressive when it is called for for good reason.

“Traditional” masculinity does not shy from competitiveness when competitiveness is called for. It recognizes when teamwork is called for, as well as when competing for your team is called for. It does not see teamwork and competitiveness as mutually exclusive. Contrary to modern politicized pop psychology.

“Traditional” masculinity is not about “dominance”, but it is also not about surrendering your own interests either. Knowing the difference between the two is not about “traditional” masculinity but about education and values. What is wrongly considered as “dominance” has sprung from how men and boys are taught to put “women and children” first, and taking the risks, putting themselves “at the front lines”, in the lead (in war or in work) securing that objective. Rather than being domineering or anti-female it is quite the opposite. That does not mean “traditional” masculinity is about suppressing women, but women must really decide when and how the roles they seek are really for their family unit or just for themselves, just as must men.

Progressives are both evil and crazy.

Progressives are Nazis. They just don’t admit it, even to themselves.

The Progressives follow every tenant of Nazi ideology except nationalism.

American Psychological Association Declares Socialism “Psychologically Harmful”

The American Psychological Association (APA) effectively declared war on “socialism” in its newly released rules on how psychologists should deal with leftists.

“The main thrust of the subsequent research is that socialism—marked by the embrace of failed, 19th Century philosophies and the complete absence of pattern recognition, with sociopathic disregard to the lives of others, and a severe inferiority complex masked as a superiority complex—is, on the whole, and in its individual parts, harmful,” the APA claims.

This declaration can now be used by those advocating “common sense socialism control”, such as universal background checks and licensing for everyone seeking to advocate for socialism; forbidding socialism to those under the age of 21, or who have mental health problems or felony convictions; to ban socialism in our schools, the creation of socialism free zones, and to limit how often individuals can obtain information about socialism.

Pediatrician Dr. Spock was a USNR medical officer in WW2. I think he ended the war as a Lieutenant Commander.

...Men who do not suppress their emotions are vicious brutes who beat up women and children

Any male worth a damn has learned to command his emotions
The process is called adolescence.
About 1/2 of the posters on this site know exactly what This means

Women, best I can tell, do not go through this process to the same degree
As they are not physically dangerous to the male, without an equalizer

My Great Aunt, who was a expert on family violence in her time
However told me ~60% of family violence is initiated by the woman
They are just not physically dangerous about it (usually)

Though I think protocol-wise medical doctor - Dr can precede military rank. MDs are always Dr so-n-so before they’re rank so-n-so.

I agree with your post in everything but the above.

Training a male to control his emotions should begin by age two.

Anyone who has lived with a two-year-old will recognize that a male two year old has to be constantly constrained especially if he has siblings that he can attack (older or younger).

My step daughter has a eight-year-old and an eight-year-old. The eight-year-old is constantly in trouble with his mother because he retaliates against the eight-year-old.

Naturally the mother takes the side of the younger more vulnerable child. I cannot convince her that this wrong.

Hey, I am just a male. But I think if you wait until the boy is a teen you have lost the battle.

My gawd. Overdosing on Star Trek is painful to watch. I refer, of course. to Mr Spock’s race, the Vulcans who could not abide an unsuppressed emotion. I know this because I am a Vulcanologist.

No, but it did become apparent to me that I had a little bit of every psychological malady we discussed. Aren’t we all just a tad crazy?

It’s the fine balances between the mental maladies you must strive to achieve.

While I do think there is a loss of some sensation, I would say that urge is upstream from sensation, IOW, keep the horse in front of the cart.
