Post 6000 - Competing With Masculinity

The American Psychological Association is critical of traditional masculinity, defined as "marked by stoicism, competitiveness, dominance and aggression." The APA isn't being particularly stoic in this, but they are being competitive, seeking dominance, and doing so in an aggressive manner.

They don't really dislike those qualities.  They like them just fine when they have the whip hand.
