Screw it. I'm turning Republican.

https://pjmedia.com/trending/university-of-texas-to-treat-masculinity-as-a-mental-health-issue/

The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently launched a new program to help male students “take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.”

Treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis, “MasculinUT” is organized by the school’s counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series encouraging students to develop a “healthy model of masculinity.”

The 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 “the breadwinner.”

Are You an Alpha or a Beta Male? Take Our 20-Question Quiz and Find Out
Though you might enjoy “taking care of people” or being “active,” MasculinUT warns that many of these attributes are actually dangerous, claiming that “traditional ideas of masculinity place men into rigid (or restrictive) boxes [which]... prevent them from developing their emotional maturity.”

“If you are a male student at UT reading this right now, we hope that learning about this helps you not to feel guilty about having participated in these definitions of masculinity, and instead feel empowered to break the cycle!” the program offers.

The program is currently without leadership, but not for long. The school is in the process of hiring a “healthy masculinities coordinator” to run the program, and a school official tells PJ Media that some hopeful hirees are interviewing for the position later this week.

While many schools now have similar programs, this appears to be the first run directly out of a Counseling and Mental Health Center. Though the school seems to justify this by claiming that masculinity can cause men to lash out at other people and themselves, the school did not respond to a request for comment to clarify.

There is no evidence that masculinity itself contributes to violence. Universities that run similar programs, such as UNC-Chapel Hill and Northwestern, have admitted that their programming isn’t supported by any evidence.

I bet the final exam includes a MILF coming into class in yoga pants while the professor inspects the students for an erection. You get erect, you fail. Limp dicks get all the good grades, the very definition of grading on a curve.

Cutting your dick off and hormones = "brave" behavior to be celebrated.

I don't get them. I ain't exactly the prize-winning pig at the county fair, and even I managed to meet a woman or two.

There is something wrong with all of you. It's problematic. I'm glad we found out what it was and now we can treat it.

As someone who was attacked earlier today for this very thing I welcome this type of program and I think many on here would benefit from it. Hopefully there is an online class that Caller Bob can take.

I'm not too worried about it. This crap is being driven by a small coterie of black lesbians. I'm pretty sure we can take them if push comes to shove.

We need to get all of the militant feminists and the incels together, arm them both with weapons, and let the problem take care of itself

You've never seen a black woman get angry. It's best to just walk away.

I have no issue with what they're trying to do. I think a lot of us at some point in our lives have fallen victim to "what a man is supposed to do". I know growing up black there was an awful lot of this.
