Show Notes
A multi-year study by the American Psychological Association has concluded traditional masculinity is harmful to boys and men. Traditional masculinity ideology links "constricted notions of masculinity" to aggression, homophobia and misogyny, saying such notions "may influence boys to direct a great deal of their energy into disruptive behaviours such as bullying, homosexual taunting and sexual harassment rather than healthy academic and extracurricular activities."
