Trump's affection for men who commit violence against women knows no limits.

There is no reason to give Mel Gibson his guns back — except to reward men for hitting women.

This is toxic masculinity. It's not just "jokes," JD Vance.

This story was just bananas.

Wake up and smell the kleptocracy.

Mel Gibson is a choleric character who can't control himself and is therefore a danger to society. He should undergo anger management training.

And silly old Donald is also a danger to society, but his problem lies elsewhere: It's dangerous when stupid people have too much power, and Donald has plenty of both!

Why read past headlines: I get into the psychological research on toxic masculinity. The more guys claim to be "tough," it turns out, the more insecure they are.

Unfortunately, their insecurity makes them violent.

"Despite all the tough guy talk, men who are invested in stereotypical masculinity tend to be insecure and prone to mental health issues.

"Aggressive, coercive, and violent is what Trump wants from men — even if it means sacrificing mental health."

Don't let Gibson's skill at playing a teddy bear fool you. I review the details of his crime in the article and it was shocking how brutal it was.

And he shows no remorse to this day.

The best indication that a person will commit violence in the future is that they HAVE committed violence in the past.

Excellent work. Domestic violence and terrorism directed directly at women, again. The usual well funded networks supporting this dangerous madness too. The same crew that stopped the ERA imo.
