'Traditional masculinity' labeled 'harmful' by the American Psychological Assc
Where is the Times getting these quotes in their article? I can&#x27;t find nearly any of them in the actual APA Guidelines document :<p>“traditional masculinity — marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression — is, on the whole, harmful.” - This sentence is is not in the guidelines.<p>&quot;conform to traditional stereotypes about men’s emotionality&quot; is not in the document, however :&quot;in part because internalizing disorders do not conform to  traditional  gender  role  stereotypes  about  men’s  emotionality.&quot; is in the document. Though not a large misquote, it is still a misquote.<p>“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 and physical health,” is just straight up not in the document.<p>&quot;despite social forces that can harm mental health&quot; is also not in the document.<p>I&#x27;ve no idea where the author, Jessica Schladebeck, is getting her quotes, but the linked document that is in the article doe not have them. What am I missing here? I&#x27;ve not parsed it in detail yet, so my apologies, but it seems that a few of these quotes are just made up out of whole cloth.
