the american psychological association stirring controversy with publicly released new guidelines aimedtional masculinity in men and boys." which they claim is harmful. their research describing traditional masculinity as "marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression" and is on the hole, "harmful." this is the kind of stuff that drives me crazy that they teach a lot of schools not. you have boys going to school there being completely vilified for being boys from a very, very young age. some of these qualities they are talking about men, like competitiveness for example, is not a bad quality. >> greg: also it's biological. it's not a war on boys. it's a war on biology. if you look anywhere in the media, they seem to look down upon differences between genders. somehow that you could somehow change somebody. which you can't because, you know, boys are boys. girls are girls. if you do the studies. the problem is, why are the studies necessary? it's because we've created an artificial polarization. it's like women versus men as opposed to complementing each other. you can't
