This is very interesting. I agree with not telling boys to 'be a man' or girls to be ladylike. Not helpful.https://twitter.com/CHSommers/status/788480297209851904 …

If, as mountains of evidence suggest, there are innate psychological gender differences, you don't need to tell kids to act like a gender.

I don't like destructive & abusive behaviour being termed 'hypermasculinity' or even 'pathological masculinity.' Is this masculinity?

There are certainly anti-social behaviours associated more w men or more w women but I'd hesitate to say they're a form of gender itself.

That might just be to do with my fear that being told one is too masculine or has a toxic masculinity is harmful & ignores actual problem.

Which is always how behaviour is hurting other people whether its a nasty trait more men have or more women.

Find it fascinating & extremely plausible that men wld respond better to 'improving mental fitness' than 'caring for mental health!'
