«Breaking News» ‘Toxic’ masculinity is harming boys, say top psychologists 

Traditional masculinity is toxic and encouraging boys not to cry is dangerous to their health, according to the world’s leading psychology group.


In its first official guidelines on the treatment of men and boys, the influential American Psychological Association says many male traits including stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression are harmful and can lead to violence, depression and suicide.


It argues that this ‘traditional masculinity ideology’ pushes boys toward ‘anti-femininity’ and forces them to mask the appearance of weakness while encouraging risk-taking, aggression and violence as a means of solving problems.

As a result, it limits men’s psychological development, constrains their behaviour, causes ‘gender role strain’ and has a negative impact on their mental and physical health.


But critics have accused the report of taking an anti-male stance, which depicts traditional male values as ‘nearly monstrous’.


The report paints a picture of generations of boys under constant pressure by society to conform to masculine expressions who are censured by their parents and peers if they fail to maintain the expected behaviour.

Its authors say transgender issues are at the ‘forefront of the cultural conversations’, with evidence suggesting a link between adherence to rigid masculinity in gay, bisexual and transgender men and higher rates of self-destructive behaviour, such as drug-taking.


The APA is regarded as a leading authority on psychological matters. Its manual of mental disorders is taken as the bible of mental illness and consulted by British psychologists and health experts.


While the controversial guidance was years in the making, its publication in the wake of the #MeToo movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault feeds a prevailing narrative about the dangers of traditional masculinity.

Critics last night accused the authors of ‘anti-male rhetoric’. Frank Furedi, Emeritus Professor of Sociology at Kent University, said: ‘Suddenly the reluctance of some men to cry on demand is recast as pathology. This is not a scientifically informed document, it is an ideologically driven attempt to devalue male identity.’


Professor Chris Ferguson, a fellow of the APA, complained that the guidance read like an activist’s agenda, saying: ‘In sweeping terms, traditional men are portrayed as nearly monstrous, their cultural values associated with everything from sexism to promiscuity, to their own declining health.’


But psychologist Ryon McDermott, who helped draft the report, said the profession needed to help men ‘break free of masculinity rules that don’t help them’ and focus on potentially positive aspects of masculinity such as courage and leadership.


And Dr Glenn Wilson, a British psychologist and author of The Great Sex Divide, said: ‘Male-female differences are not socially constructed, they have early evolutionary origins.


‘Male and female-typical traits have both advantages and disadvantages. For example, psychopathy increases the likelihood of crime but is useful in battle.’



Students' initials dropped in new transgender move 



A top university has dropped students’ initials in email addresses because they could be ‘problematic’ for transgender people who change their names.


A spokesman at Bristol University explained: ‘John Smith arriving in 2018 might have received the username js18123.


‘In the new scheme, it will start with any two letters except “js”.’


The latest move in the higher education system to satisfy transgender rights advocates follows the installation of gender-neutral toilets and advice to check the ‘preferred pronoun’ of students.


Professor Alan Smithers, of Buckingham University, branded the move ‘an absurd over-reaction’.


But Bristol University said: ‘Concerns have been expressed by trans staff and students who may have transitioned that their log-in remains linked to their former identity.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.

Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
