" The APA doesn't seem to be under the delusion that they can control how masculinity is viewed in society, anyway."

The APA-- the professional org. which represents the field of psychology in the USA--[1] literally instituted a definition of "toxic masculinity".

If that isn't an attempt to control masculinity in society, I don't know what is.
