'Masculinity ideology' linked to homophobia and misogyny by psychologist association

For the first time in its 127-year history, the American Psychological Association has issued guidelines to help psychologists specifically address the issues of men and boys — and the 36-page document features a warning.

‘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,’ the report warns.

The new ‘Guidelines for the Psychological Practice with Boys and Men’ defines ‘masculinity ideology’ as ‘a particular constellation of standards that have held sway over large segments of the population, including: anti-femininity, achievement, eschewal of the appearance of weakness, and adventure, risk, and violence.’ The report also links this ideology to homophobia, bullying and sexual harassment.“

And this is news?

On an individual basis? No, not remotely alas.

However, it is news that this is now formally recognised and codified by a respected learned body. It can now be cited with supporting evidence after scientific analysis. That has meaning in and of itself

This is a real problem, however while we don’t have this museum, we do have The National Museum of American Indian (yeah I hate the name too) that actually describes a lot of the bullshit Native Americans have had to go through. There is a room completely dedicated to every treaty that the US government made with Native Americans and then back out on (honestly it’s the saltiest museum I’ve ever been in) They have stuff from the trail of tears to modern day issues. I would encourage everyone, especially my white friends who don’t know much about Native American culture or history, to go check it out.

Update: I was wrong, we do have this museum! I encourage everyone to check out the American Indian Genocide Museum in Dallas Texas. They participate in a lot of activism and education.

The stupidest thing about this to me is circa 1970 my great grandfather started wearing short sleeve men’s jumpsuits almost exclusively until the day he died so like, this is an entirely feasible fashion choice for a character who debuted in 1969

Medusa with the Head of Perseus, Luciano Garbati, 2008

I adore how she carries his head low, at her side, and not aloft in triumph. This is not a self-aggrandizing hero lauding her great deed. This is a woman who wanted to be left the fuck alone.

Also look at her body. The double hips. The asymetrical boobs. She’s thin, but she’s realistic as hell. That’s a real woman.

And the look in her eyes. Damn.

I originally saw photos of Garbati’s Medusa a long time ago, but I specifically remember this post from earlier this year. Medusa was one of those pieces that really buried into my head and heart. Sounds silly, but just looking at it gives me strength.

Today I was lucky enough to see it in person. She’s incredible. And, something that the original pictures don’t show— she’s HUGE!

I love this even better now that we can see the baffled look on Perseus’s face.
