Sounds suspiciously like 'improve men's mental health for the sake of women' again.

Summary: "Research on men’s mental health shows how distress manifests differently in men than women, and how they cope with stress differs as well. Men face both self-stigma and social stigma about showing their emotions or talking about their level of anxiety, low mood, and stress. If you’re a manager, the first step to getting people to be comfortable talking about their mental health at work, is to build a climate where it is psychologically safe to show vulnerability."

What managers can do

The first step to getting people to be comfortable talking about their mental health at work, irrespective of gender, is to build a climate where it is psychologically safe to show vulnerability.

Ummm... I'm not talking to my manager about my personal life. It's none of their business. Are they getting some sort of medical licensing in addition to their role-specific education and training?

Where do they get these moronic liberal RadFem writers? What sort of moron thinks suggesting that an unlicensed manager getting chummy and overly/invasively personal with an employee is ok? Is the unlicensed manager going to give a prescription or life advice? Probably not.

First, this is the person who writes Performance Reviews. Like I'm going to tell them my individual problems and challenges that are ENTIRELY unrelated to work?!?! They're reviewing my work performance, not my personal life performance. Are they going to give extra credit for having personal life challenges? Probably not.

Second, I don't go to work to "make friends" with my managers. I'm there to earn money for myself and my family. You wanna be friends, I'm gonna need WAAYYY more money. I get to pick my friends, based on my own preferences. I DON'T get to pick my manager. Maybe they're a jerk. Maybe they're a Liberal moron. But, at the end of the day, I'm going to go to work, again, to earn money for myself and my family.
