New guidelines from the American Psychological Association say 'traditional masculinity' can hurt boys and men. Is it time for Australia to adopt a similar approach?

looking back I see a lot of BS around my life relating to 'traditional masculinity' ...I give you one potent example ...in primary school the Principal said to me to go and play 'sports' with the other boys. I didn't want to but he urged me anyway ... I still hate sport ...

Psychology isn't a science and has a terrible proven track record for being founded on studies that could never be repeated by other researchers. They may have their uses but psychologists are the last people we should be taking advice from when it comes to running a society.

liv_willis Beware the Ideologues in Sheep's Clothing: A critique of the APA Guidelines for the Treatment of Boys and Men:

Yes, just read the book Fight Club because that's what its all about. A primitive society actually has a role for men, and going back to that by destroying civilisation is what the book is about.

Australian taxpayer's dollars fund these far left journalists and their agenda.... It's just wrong...

OMG now Australian psychologists are going to follow the APA’ s flawed approach to masculinity - the madness spreads like a disease RationalMale clairlemon primalpoly

. It is time to let go of the idea that achievement, leadership and strength are male characteristics. The missing ingredient is compassion, which requires shifting one’s centre of presence from the head to the heart and connect from that space. .

Instead of making good men question themselves under the guise of 'fixing' their mental health and suicide, start by looking at fixing soul destroying family law courts and FIFO jobs.

We don't need more ToxicMasculinity Soy-boys are where it's at.

Are we talking about real experts, or those whacko leftist 'experts'?

But gender is a social construct, apparently!

Early birds have an advantage in mental health: studyEarly risers are less likely to suffer mental health problems than those who prefer to lie in, a study has found. how early is early the clock says 7.07 I personally would not call that early I thought people suffering from depression and other mental ailments tend to sleep longer so maybe it's an effect not the cause Perhaps people with mental health problems are not motivated to get up? I doubt your body clock predisposes you one one or other to metal health.

The strange tale of donkeys, table tennis, and a Chinese traditional medicine called ejiaoIn the search for new friends the ejiao industry has entangled one of Australia's oldest sporting organisation in the centre of a fight over animal cruelty. R_BurtonBradley Biased reporting fails to mention benefits of removing feral donkeys from Oz landscape. No one is talking live export trade. Butchered in Oz = humane killing. Numbering 5 million, declared pest, due to their damage to vegetation and erosion of soil. This is just the most disgusting thing I have read today. Are these people crazy and how can any government just close their eyes to the cruelty of this trade. How can they endorse it. It needs to be closed down. They need to piss off back to China. Paul Recher is correct. There is not, and has never been, any intention of live exports and nor has feral ever been an option. This is a farming proposition and the reason Australia is an attractive option is because of some of the issues raised in this article.
