“Be watchful, stand firm in the faith, act like men, be strong.”  Matthew 15:14 (ESV)

The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin has decided that masculinity must be treated as if it were a mental health crisis.

Their program is predicated on a critique of so-called “restrictive masculinity.”  Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to “act like a man” or when they are encouraged to fulfill traditional gender roles, such as being “successful” or being “the breadwinner.”  They go so far to say this is dangerous for men.

Masculinity poses a mental health crises but gender dysphoria is normal… okay then.
