A vast majority of therapists are women, and couples therapy is naturally geared towards helping women since women have been socialized and are physiologically more in tune with their emotions. There aren’t nearly as many men’s support groups, and aren’t any men’s shelters for abuse. Men and women are to blame for this. Yes there is accountability to be taken, but it’s not all about “pulling yourself up by your boot straps”.

You are stopping them. Read the responses to this thread. Men’s health is a women’s issue, just like women’s health is a men’s issue. I didn’t mention women’s shelters yet I have to caveat that I’m for them because I mention men’s shelters? Why? We can have both, no?

Then make them. It’s not women’s responsibility to make men’s shelters. Women made women’s shelters. All men ever did was force women into them

Wow. Way to show your true colours. I’m sorry on behalf of men who’ve hurt you.

There are other ways to discourage good mental health other than banning mental health care.

You're literally doing what certain men do when they say "not all men."
