Mike Ballard quoted:

"In the South African mining sector, for example, a group of psychologists recently established that the norm of “masculinity” (expressed through soliciting prostitutes) in South African “culture” increases the risk of HIV transmission among miners [32]. To locate “culture” as the problem is to ignore the perspectives of the miners themselves (who, in fact, are from a variety of different locations as distinct as rural Malawi and central Soweto)."

Great catch, Mike! Thanks.

I read somewhere that the top two represented professions in the nazi party were psychologists/psychiatrists and gyneacologists...
