Masculinity As A Mental Health Issue

“Man up.” “Act like a man.” “Real men don’t cry.”

The University of Texas at Austin claims these are examples of “restrictive masculinity,” and it is the latest college campus to shine the liberal light of wussiness on the theory that masculinity could be a mental health issue.

Traits like assertiveness, taking charge and being a “breadwinner” are discouraged because they restrict men to harmful stereotypes.  Unlike cry closets and safe spaces for college-aged men.

Promoting such attitudes can lead to unhealthy activities like violence, drinking or punching the lights out of a cis-gendered individual that has a problem with your heterosexuality.

The MasculinUT class is being offered through the University of Texas at Austin’s Counseling and Mental Health Center.  (Apparently including the “e” in masculine is patriarchal.)  Patriarchal types dismiss the new program as a virus on virility and a form of Longhorn mad cow disease.

It’s actually a sign of our times that the program is being offered through the university’s counseling and mental health center.  According to the program’s founders, masculine gender identities include female, transgender, genderqueer and non-binary students. Huh?

Cross dressing and assuming the opposite gender role of the factory installed equipment you were born with used to be considered a mental illness that required professional counseling, not a celebration.

Today, many enlightened gender bender advocates insist that the concept of gender is optional and can be changed at anytime – despite any lack of scientific evidence validating that premise. (Watching the Sisters number in White Christmas 150 times doesn’t count.)

On the other hand, masculine qualities like poise, bravery and resoluteness have been historically respected, but now they are rejected as discriminatory and biased. Guess you could call such qualities a “manstrosity.”

Manly attributes formally revered are now considered “restrictive” and are believed to lead to sexual violence and interpersonal issues, therefore masculinity must be counseled and treated as a form of mental illness. Like believing in prayer or wearing a MAGA hat.

What’s happening on college campuses today is enough to make a real man cry.  Or not.

Man Banned for Female Empathy

MOUNT HOLYOKE COLLEGE, MASSACHUSETTS

If gender really is a social construct and being non-binary is optional, why would a school known for celebrating its gender neutral diversity ban a man with a strong empathy towards women?

Lindsey Mack chose to apply at Mount Holyoke College because of the school’s reputation as the most inclusive women’s school in the country.

Sadly, xe has learned that is not the case.  According to their website, Mount Holyoke accepts:

  • Biologically born female; identifies as a woman
  • Biologically born female; identifies as a man
  • Biologically born female; identifies as other/they/ze
  • Biologically born female; does not identify as either woman or man
  • Biologically born male; identifies as woman
  • Biologically born male; identifies as other/they/ze and when “other/they” identity includes woman
  • Biologically born with both male and female anatomy (Intersex); identifies as a woman

Mount Holyoke does not accept biologically born males identifying as men, but Lindsey learned there is one other category Mount Holyoke does not accept: men brimming with toxic masculinity and enough testosterone to form a special forces unit – by themselves – but who empathize with women.

Apparently the whole gender is a social construct theory only applies to females, females who want to be male and female wannabes.

“What the college doesn’t understand is I grew up with seven sisters and one bathroom for all of us. That experience gave me a unique perspective and understanding of women that a lot of dudes don’t have, I’ll tell you,” Lindsey said.

On Lindsey’s application form xe dotted all the “i’s” and crossed all the “t”s – or in this instance would that be dotted the “t’s” and crossed the “i’s?

Whatever, Lindsey ran the non-conformist gender gauntlet successfully and was accepted until xe arrived on campus.

It was then that xyr lifelong dream of attending a women’s college met the brick wall of prejudice and bigotry.  In the short time it took for xyr to saunter the campus and ask directions to the administration office, multiple cases of swooning began.

The Mount Holyoke nurse’s office treated 16 cases of swooning during Lindsey’s brief visit, including Mount Holyoke’s Dean of Students and an embarrassed Admissions Director who reportedly gasped in awe when Lindsey strode purposefully into her office.

Mount Holyoke says on its website:

“Diversity and inclusion is about understanding our multiple identities through the lens of social justice education, ally development, and identity development.”

Unfortunately Lindsey Mack’s disappointing experience proved an exception to the school’s gender diversity rules. Men who respect women and relate to them are not allowed – unless they are gay or transsexual.
