Want to hear the headline? &#8220;University of Texas to Treat Masculinity as a &#8216;Mental Health\u2019 Issue &#8212; The Counseling and Mental Health Center at the University of Texas at Austin recently launched a new program to help male students &#8216;take control over their gender identity and develop a healthy sense of masculinity.\u2019<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"alignright wp-image-272558\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AldaSteinem-1024x678.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"400\" height=\"265\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AldaSteinem-1024x678.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AldaSteinem-300x199.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AldaSteinem-768x509.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/AldaSteinem-1080x715.jpg 1080w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/>&#8220;Treating masculinity as if it were a mental health crisis, &#8216;MasculinUT\u2019 is organized by the school\u2019s counseling staff and most recently organized a poster series encouraging students to develop a &#8216;healthy model of masculinity.\u2019 The program is predicated on a critique of so-called &#8216;restrictive masculinity.\u2019 Men, the program argues, suffer when they are told to &#8216;act like a man\u2019 or when they are encouraged to fulfill traditional gender roles, such as being &#8216;successful\u2019 or &#8216;the breadwinner.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>This is corrupting men. It\u2019s destroying men. It\u2019s putting too much pressure on men. Masculinity is causing men to crack up. The demand that they be successful, the demand that they provide for the family. The very idea that they should act like a man is tearing \u2019em apart, and we need to do something about it, they say.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;Though you might enjoy &#8216;taking care of people\u2019 or being &#8216;active,\u2019 MasculinUT warns that many of these attributes are actually dangerous, claiming that &#8216;traditional ideas of masculinity place men into rigid (or restrictive) boxes [which]&#8230; prevent them from developing their emotional maturity.'&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>What are the odds that a bunch of women are running this? Or at least provided the germination of the idea. &#8220;The program is currently without leadership, but not for long. The school is in the process of hiring a &#8216;healthy masculinities coordinator\u2019 to run the program, and a school official tells PJ Media that some hopeful hirees are interviewing for the position later this week.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" class=\"size-full wp-image-272532 aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-043018-Longhorns-Pink.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"360\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-043018-Longhorns-Pink.jpg 640w, https:\/\/www.rushlimbaugh.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2018\/04\/APP-043018-Longhorns-Pink-300x169.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><\/p>\n<p>Healthy masculinities coordinator.
