What's literally killing men is the sort of macho bullshit that Tate is selling. He's not saving anybody from anything - although he is getting rich on this delusion.

The APA just released new guidelines for working with men and boys that took 13 years to craft and are based on 40 years of research. The gist of their findings are that a lot of mainstream masculine norms are demonstrably harmful to men - and everyone else. It's not exactly rocket science that forcing men into little narrow boxes of what is acceptable for them, based on what other people have decided about that, is going to be harmful. No "feminist ideology" necessary. It's common sense.

"Thirteen years in the making, they draw on more than 40 years of research showing that traditional masculinity is psychologically harmful and that socializing boys to suppress their emotions causes damage that echoes both inwardly and outwardly."
