“Understanding the socially constructed aspects of masculinities & how they affect boys & men is an important cultural competency. Psychologists should strive to recognize that masculinities are constructed based on social, cultural, & contextual norms.”https://www.nytimes.com/2019/01/17/opinion/apa-guidelines-men-boys.html …

masculinity is related to gender expression, which is distinct from biological sex.
What evidence would change your minds about this ideological dogma that flies in the face of 150 years of sexual selection research?

Just a thought: Since they relate masculinity to gender, and gender to "psychological, social, and cultural experiences and characteristics" while "sex refers to biological aspects" wouldn't be that any biological influence would be about sex, using their terms? 1/2

Both sides wrong. One in denial about genetic behavioural differences + evolution by sexual selection. Other glossing over gene/environment interactions, & worse; denial of cultural evolution and its ability to affect human mind & behaviour. Silly boys think APA stealing manhood!

If they're going to describe them as "socially constructed "'aspects'' then it implies other aspects. How can they ignore biological or genetic aspects,. What other aspects do they consider relevant?
