'Toxic masculinity' scales are circular. They measure emotional self-control and self-reliance. The main thing they predict in this meta-analysis is men not going to therapists about their troubles. Self-reliance predicts self-reliance. Shocker. http://www.apa.org/pubs/journals/releases/cou-cou0000176.pdf …
I know. But clinical psych has a serious PR issue among most men. The solution isn't demonizing men with labels like 'toxic masculinity'. It's developing new kinds of therapy that work better for men, and that they trust are masculinity-positive.

That's true. That's a demonization term for sure.

We shouldn't demonize men with labels like 'toxic masculinity', and we need to see why the label 'feminized therapy culture' is objective and neutral. Ugh. Not sure why I take comfort when intelligent people I respect demonstrate boring, everyday bias and its consequences.
