The Problem With the Term ‘Toxic Masculinity’ – The Atlantic
The popular term points toward very real problems of male violence and sexism. But it risks misrepresenting what actually causes them.

From a Dad who has been targeted , hang strong for your kids
On another thread there is a discussion of Ted Talks, get this human a Ted Talk. That is an excellent description of both the situation and what parents can do, at least as far as the broken mental health and legal systems will allow the parents to do.
Get this guy a Ted Talk. Oh wait, he’s already available on YouTube. Anyone anytime can hear this. They just don’t care. Sloth, laziness, apathy, exploitation… they don’t care.
He’s my Ted Talk, I’m posting a link to this personal “Ted Talk” of a dad on my website. We have enough “experts.” He’s an expert. He knows this pathology well.

Men in name only: New study shows testosterone levels in American males are dropping dramatically. Why would that be? — RT Op-ed
Pollution, sedentary lifestyles, soy and even social ‘feminization’ have been blamed for a deepening testosterone crisis. But finding the answer fast is important – the future of America’s population literally depends on it.

Thymoquinone-induced oxidative stress targets highly aggressive prostate cancers, researchers find — ScienceDaily
Researchers have demonstrated that thymoquinone (TQ) a major component of black seed oil (Nigella sativa) can suppress the growth of several aggressive prostate cancer (PCa) cell lines, in vitro. Although previous studies have shown the anti-proliferative effects of TQ in different types of cancers, the molecular mechanism of this effect of TQ had not been delineated.

A standardized herbal extract mitigates tumor inflammation and augments chemotherapy effect of docetaxel in prostate cancer | Scientific Reports
Activation of the NFκB pathway is often associated with advanced cancer and has thus been regarded as a rational therapeutic target. Wedelia chinensis is rich in luteolin, apigenin, and wedelolactone that act synergistically to suppress androgen receptor activity in prostate cancer. Interestingly, our evaluation of a standardized Wedelia chinensis herbal extract (WCE) concluded its efficacy on hormone-refractory prostate cancer through systemic mechanisms. Oral administration of WCE significantly attenuated tumor growth and metastasis in orthotopic PC-3 and DU145 xenografts. Genome-wide transcriptome analysis of these tumors revealed that WCE suppressed the expression of IKKα/β phosphorylation and downstream cytokines/chemokines, e.g., IL6, CXCL1, and CXCL8. Through restraining the cytokines expression, WCE reduced tumor-elicited infiltration of myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), tumor-associated macrophages (TAMs) and endothelial cells into the tumors, therefore inhibiting angiogenesis, tumor growth, and metastasis. In MDSCs, WCE also reduced STAT3 activation, downregulated S100A8 expression and prevented their expansion. Use of WCE in combination with docetaxel significantly suppressed docetaxel-induced NFκB activation, boosted the therapeutic effect and reduced the systemic toxicity caused by docetaxel monotherapy. These data suggest that a standardized preparation of Wedelia chinensis extract improved prostate cancer therapy through immunomodulation and has potential application as an adjuvant agent for castration-resistant prostate cancer.

Erasing Families : Holiday Message 😘🎄🥳
All of the volunteers at Erasing Family wish Everyone a Safe and blessed holiday!

Independence Day Martina McBride
This song came to mind , upon an update from a deserving
soul , who is liberating themselves today …
In homage to those who have been empowered to remove
themselves from harms way , and those who deserve support
derived from this soul who had to do it the hard way
but today feels nothing but independence from generations
of abuse .. Supported by spirit , by ancestors who did not
fare well in matters of children and marriage , finances
home , and AMA APA …socially …clearing this is amazing .
My intent was for a clearing for my earth family , each
unique son Divine graced me with , as well as myself .
I mourned for what I missed, what I lost , what was abused
and Bless my former self , whose fragments are less tragic
in lieu of the many gifts I have received and many of those
are intangible .
I would have never knowingly married anyone who was
masking trauma, addiction, etc who would harm me
or our children . My deepest , darkest pain has been
transformed , resulting in a purity of love and promise
the life I dreamed of , on my own with Beloved’s
love and respect ..new year , new beginnings ..
Truth is Light that is Love
©️
Blessings & Peace

Honoring a very long goodbye 👋

Maternal Infection During Pregnancy: Increased Risk of Psychosis in Offspring | Psychiatric Times
Targeting Mom is a APA mantra . Let’s look at generations
addicted to Psychiatric RX , ignorance of Trauma , avoidance
of masculine responsibility in any part of creation .
The DSM is full of sexist hocus pocus .
Maternal viral infection during pregnancy is a risk factor for schizophrenia. But there has been relatively less research on the association between maternal bacterial infection during pregnancy and psychosis risk.
