Working on a publication version of the biologically-informed guidelines for treating men I proposed in a previous Twitter thread, though not sure where to submit (academic vs. pop outlet). Thoughts?
The @APA is still waging its war against traditional masculinity, still doubling down, still politicizing psychology, still inserting ideology into therapy.https://twitter.com/SPSMM_D51/status/1092440945369509888 …

Either
@Quillette or@PsychToday or maybe Current Directions in Psych Science? APS Observer? Chronicle of Higher Education?

Perhaps it’s time we stop taking what people with names like ‘Auntie Wizdom Powell’ believe about masculinity to be the gospel of psychology? But what do I know, right?

Inside scoop: most serious psychological scientists have been embarrassed by the politicization of
@APA since the 80s, and formed alternative societies such as@PsychScience. But most faculty are too frightened of losing APA clinical accreditation to make a fuss about this. - 2 more replies

Let's just call what the
@APA is doing Toxic Psychology. Lump it in with all the other times they've ended up stigmatizing a group of people by pretending to care about their well-being.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

Motivated tacticians are either unaware of the reality of their compromised condition or... even worse... are indeed aware... but are so motivated by their ideological convictions that they suppress the use of reason to pursue their desired goal instead of objective truth.pic.twitter.com/atxUWzr9Qy

Create a new term, "traditional masculinity," define it by the worst traits exhibited by the worst human beings, then promise to help men overcome it by becoming more female. The pernicious step is the initial redefinition. It's at that level that this must be rejected.

They would never put out a "Toxic Femininity" guideline that defined traditional femininity by the most negative traits and behavioral stats found more often in women so why do that to men? Imagine if they did the same for race or creed. They would rightly be called out for bias.

Psychology, phrenology, and astrology. There’s supposed to be a difference in these fields, right? Psychology has more clinical legitimacy why, exactly?
-
Well there are more hard science parts of Psychology like neuropsych that unfortunately are lumped in with the pseudoscience nonsense behind these guidelines.
