Breaking News on Toxic Masculinity

The American Psychological Association links ‘masculinity ideology’ to homophobia, misogyny :

“For the first time in its 127-year history, the APA has issued guidelines to help psychologists specifically address the issues of men and boys. The new “Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men” defines “masculinity ideology” as “a particular constellation of standards that have held sway over large segments of the population, including: anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence.” The report also links this ideology to homophobia, bullying and sexual harassment.”

This. Is. Huge.
