Slightly off topic here, but back in 2022, a psychology professor stated that the American Psychology Association is waging a war on men and boys - and it was published on Newsweek.

It's on topic, Frank. The journal that published this paper on "mankeeping" is called Psychology of Men & Masculinities. Psychology of Men & Masculinities is the flagship journal of Division 51 within the American Psychological Association (APA).

Thanks, James. The psychology professor that wrote that article states that he is a feminist, but he can see when men are being mistreated and abused by the psychology profession.

John Barry of the Centre of Male Psychology has also written about the APA guidelines.

Was he stating that he was a feminist to pre-empt the cancellation that may have occurred as a result of the article?

Men & women are capable of equality without having to be feminist. That ideology is unwell, and we are in need of regime change.

It not only harms men but also the women who care/value them in community and their lives.

Very well done Jim. Ferrara and Viagra expose themselves as being totally ignorant of male psychology. After closing down the male spaces where men could meet and enjoy themselves (male sports teams, all male schools, male sheds, boy scouts, Rotary Clubs and so many like them, men's clubs, all male barber shops) then they complain that the burden is on themselves since men no longer have their places to gather.

To the writers of "Manskeeping" I would say "Do your own job and mind your own business"

which is Socrates definition of justice. The phrase, mind your own business, means that you want that person to stop asking you questions about your life or to stop prying into your life.

And that of course means that justice will be reciprocated.

These types of 'studies' really, really, really anger me, more so the fact that universities cheer/fund these useless papers. These so called 'studies' do NOTHING for society, they don't further men's or women's issues. The only thing they achieve is division, whilst Ferrara & Vergara feed their self-importance & egos. They like to make us think they are so well educated & smart, by the use of big words & convoluted phrasing. All they want to do is drag males down. I hope they do not have sons!!!

It's maternal instinct out of control.

She's infantilizing her husband.

Mankeeping is just babying.

Projecting power and control and emotionalism intended for her infants anywhere else.

She just needs to follow the female life path of being protected by a husband, then married off with a dowry, producing children enough to keep her instincts hooked into where they evolved.

Also, as Chris Rock joked, “nothing is more offensive to a woman than a man at rest”. This is her evolved psychology, not his.

Women tend to try to break down a husbands social networks as a means of control and shit testing. She wants to keep him away from other men (and especially women) who might open his eyes. Again, it's that power and control instinct.

That's why the manosphere rising is an occasion for cancelling.

Great takedown of a complete piece of shit research paper. As if men are asking women to do any of these mankeeping activities. Most men would rather the women leave them alone to do as they please.

"Mankeeping" - even the choice in terms is too transparent: women "consider" themselves like beekeepers - watching men, spraying smoke (false accusations) to protect themselves from docile bees so they can harvest the honey and show off to other women that they are the "Queen Bee"
