The American Psychological Association (APA) recently released its Guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men. It manages to be simultaneously predictable, reprehensible, infuriating and disheartening — no mean feat for a single document. Make no mistake about it: this document constitutes an all-out assault on masculinity — or, to put it even more bluntly, on men.
The coup of the APA undertaken by the ideologues is now complete. The field has been compromised, perhaps fatally. And the damnable guidelines provide sufficient, but by no means exhaustive, evidence of that.
Simply put everything in pickle jars
Step 1: identify a respected institution
Step 2: kill it
Step 3: gut it
Step 4: wear it’s carcass as a skin suit, while demanding respect

The field of psychology has never been respectable. It has never been anything more than the projection of Fraud, er Freud’s projection of his personal neurosis on everyone else. Hopefully, the only effect of it completely going off the rails will be its future inability to continue swindling hundreds of dollars per session from marks.

Peterson alludes to the real problem.
Women are lunatics, and no man who values his own sanity will have any more to do with them than absolutely necessary.
Woman, and effeminacy, is the toxin that poisons and kills everything it touches, not traditional manhood.
As it is, women who could only ever be useful to science as case studies of toxic womanhood (to be held in insane asylums to be studied in controlled conditions) have been suffered to take over Peterson’s profession, with a mamdate to find excuses to send “traditional men” who pose a meaningful threat to globalism to lunatic asylums themselves.
To the globalists, the belief that men are endowed by a male God with rights is a cancer to be cut out at all costs. So is a belief in the traditional manhood that defends those rights.

Good lord, are you for real?
Have you considered, maybe, giving sex a try?
I’m assuming now that the APA has declared war on the entire Islamic world that raises boys in the exact manner they condemn. Right?
Don’t hold your breath waiting for that. Probably allied now. You see, that admonition is only for white classical liberal democratic heritage adherents.
I threw them out with the mass media back in the 90’s as a credible organization. They had just given the queers a pass and I knew they were done. Once they got out of the closet, all the other perverts and degenerates were sure to follow – and here we are today with 31 ‘Genders’ among other lunacy, and mainstreamed pedophilia on the way in.
Obama’s ‘Buckwheat Administration’ accidentally discovered something in important in all this. If you have a gun and a bible – the doings of these lunatics are nothing you have to worry about. Eventually they will destroy themselves
“I threw them out with the mass media back in the 90’s as a credible organization. They had just given the queers a pass”
Yes. The squirrel farmers used to classify homosexuality a mental disorder. When they did a 180% turn on that, they were done.
Now their position is, “What’s wrong with you that you can’t accept crazy as if it were normal.” Pure mummery.
Squirrels, the lot of them.
The APA now advocates class warfare. The denigration of the males species and the attempt to emasculate males is just part of the multifaceted class warfare.
The document opens with the claim that “socialization for conforming to traditional masculinity ideology has been shown to limit males’ psychological development, constrain their behavior, result in gender role strain and gender role conflict, and negatively influence mental health”
Jordan Peterson provided a blunt translation of this opening statement … let me provide an even MORE BLUNT translation …
If you raise your boys to become men … they’ll struggle to “explore” their HOMO possibilities. If you raise your boy to become a woman, then we will have MORE HOMOS … and women aren’t “threatened” by homosexual men. Women, will never suffer penetration from a homo man … just receive fashion and home decorating advice.
Reminds me of a story which was related to me by an older psychiatrist. Apparently, homosexuality was considered by the medical profession as a defect and the pronouncements of the American Psychiatry and Psychologists mirrored that stance. When an icon of that institution died some time back in the late 60s or early 70s that was when homosexuality (and all its aberrations such as pederasty, etc) became merely “different”.
Let us see now.
This is one man that is his own.
As some may have noticed from his talks and question – answer sessions, he is never fearful confronting those that accuse him of ideology, where they are in fact the ideologist, doing their best to steer the debate to male dominance and all the assorted bullshit that is the standard practice of ideologues.
You can gather that this here guy has a lot of respect for Peterson.
Also thinking that psychology today, as in APA, is an offshoot of witchcraft divining nonsense out of entrails of ideology to insist what’s good for you.
As it is, the association posit that, that is completely contradicted by everyday experience.
It is those young men that have no fathers influence that become antisocial, criminal, addicted and so on. As Peterson points out that is in complete opposition to their statements.
Heh … antisocial can’t be all bad, talking about own behavior. One muses, who set up the parameters for antisocial, it being inexact “science”.
Depends on who is in charge.
Many years ago, in the sixties of the past century, in a socialist country run by communists there was an article about psychological anomalies in a newspaper. Could not tell you who was quoted, though it pointed out that your average person is infected with a number of them, it pointed out also that there is no such thing as a “normal” person without and abnormality.
The drift of the argument was that normal comes with all the everyday faults that your man commits.
Huh? Almost sounds “biblical”. … “For all have sinned and fall short of the Glory of God”
Nope … nobody is “perfect” or … “normal”.
What do you expect from the “profession” that brought us electro-shock therapy and the lobotomy. How society even puts up with psychology and psychiatry after that I’ll never know.
At six years old I witnessed a fire licking the ceiling in our unit of a 4 unit apartment building. I yelled for help… as loud as my 40 pound body could and summoned the busy adults who immediately put the fire out. I saved 17 souls who would’ve been dead or at least homeless that night.
No P.T.S.D. for me. They sent me back to school right after lunch.
(my secret: traumatized but hyper vigilant, I grew up that day!)

One flew over the cuckoos nest, was FICTION! Terrible fiction that led to the closure of mental hospitals and release of flat out crazy, sometimes dangerous, mentally ill people onto the streets.
“Why is this boy angry?” is shown in the picture with the boy in the article.
If he’s anything like the rest of us, probably because he is at his “dealing with stupid people all day limit”, and his safety valve has gone off.
