Traditional Masculinity - Harmful Says Amercian Psychological Association

The American Psychological Association has published its findings that traditional behaviors by men are harmful.

Learned from roles dictated by being on top of our nation's hierarchies, these include anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure risk and violence.
