The American Psychological Association has issued new guidelines spelling out how traditional masculinity is harmful to men and boys for the purpose of helping the psychologists who work with them. The guidelines have already drawn considerable criticism.
The professional guidelines, which reportedly took 13 years to develop, are the first of their kind that the group has published for clinicians for working with men and boys.
The APA relies on 40 years of research showing that traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly, the January 2019 press release explains.

‘It’s bigger than man:’ Looking back at Mobile’s flood of 1981
Updated May 06, 2021;
Mobilians going about their business on May 5, 1981, were no strangers to heavy rains. But they had little idea what was coming.
Hurricane Frederic, in September 1979, had resulted in a federal disaster declaration. Another had come in spring 1980, which saw two rounds of flooding. During one of those, in April, a dam failed at Municipal Park “emptying the lake into Three Mile Creek and ultimately into the homes of Mobile residents below,” according to a Mobile Register report.
Three Mile Creek experienced massive flooding again in April 1981, with hundreds of homes in the watershed taking damage. And yet, incredibly, the worst was still to come.
MOBILE, AL - Legacy Capital Partners, a Cleveland, OH-based national real estate investor firm, together with Morrison Avenue Capital Partners, a Tampa, FL-based real estate owner and operator, have formed a joint venture and announced they have acquired Timber Ridge Apartments, a 1998-vintage, 320-unit apartment community in Mobile, Alabama. The property is located within 2 miles of the University of South Alabama and Providence Hospital, a major health care system in Mobile.
Legacy and Morrison Avenue have acquired Timber Ridge as part of their value-add strategy and plan to increase cash flow and value through the execution of interior upgrades for all 320 units, exterior and amenity improvements. As a part of the value-add strategy the joint venture will immediately address the property s deferred maintenance issues which include bringing a small number of down units back online.
