Psychology is a fraud. It’s not science.

Weakness is strength. Successfully dealing with hardships and adversity is no longer politically acceptable. Only the government can cope on your behalf.

What’s a shame is that cognitive science is doing great in other areas.

Feminazis were certifiably crazy and pro chaos.

This is their handiwork.

This is not an empty claim and I can cite some names.

Those guidelines suggest that "40 years of research" show that "traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly." The APA explains that "traditional masculinity -- marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression -- is, on the whole, harmful. Men socialized in this way are less likely to engage in healthy behaviors."

These people are idiots.

Anyone who has ever know a man who does not suppress his emotions will tell you that it is not a good idea.

Men who do not suppress their emotions are vicious brutes who beat up women and children. Death by blunt force trauma is often the final outcome of living with a man that does not suppress his emotions.

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

There was no "dr. spock" on Star Trek.

Mr. Spock? Yes. He had no doctorate.

I guess I've been doing it wrong for 87 years. Too late for me to change, though.

“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.

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.
