I don't have any useful insights for you, but I did notice that you are from limerick. If you were to write your conclusions in nothing but limericks you would be nothing short of a legend in my eyes.

I checked with the mods and they have okayed my posting this here. My name is Gary and I am a Clinical Psychology PhD student

Are you going to use the new APA guidelines for Psychological Practice with Boys and Men?

https://www.apa.org/about/policy/boys-men-practice-guidelines.pdf

I don't know about others, but I feel that today psychology is inherently and intentionally hostile to men and boys.

Here's some definitions from the APA guidelines.

GENDER ROLE CONFLICT Gender role conflict (GRC) is defined as problems resulting from adherence to “rigid, sexist, or restrictive gender roles, learned during socialization, that result in personal restriction, devaluation, or violation of others or self” (O’Neil, 1990, p. 25). GRC is the most widely studied aspect of masculine gender role strain, and researchers have demonstrated that men experience conflict related to four domains of the male gender role: success, power, and competition (a disproportionate emphasis on personal achievement and control or being in positions of power); restrictive emotionality (discomfort expressing and experiencing vulnerable emotions); restrictive affectionate behavior between men (discomfort expressing care and affectionate touching of other men); and conflict between work and family relations (distress due to balancing school or work with the demands of raising a family; see O’Neil, 2008, 2013, 2015 for reviews).
OPPRESSION Oppression includes discrimination against and/or systematic denial of resources to members of groups who are identified as inferior or less deserving than others. Oppression is most frequently experienced by individuals with marginalized social identities; is manifested in both blatant and subtle discrimination in areas such as racism, ageism, sexism, classism, and heterosexism; and results in limited access to social power (Robinson, 2012; Worell & Remer, 2003).
PRIVILEGE Privilege refers to unearned sources of social status, power, and institutionalized advantage experienced by individuals by virtue of their culturally valued and dominant social identities (e.g., White, Christian, male, and middle/upper class; McIntosh, 2008).

This is what the APA thinks drives men, racism, sexism, hatred and the need to dominate and oppress.

I would suggest that participants stand a chance of becoming part of some model that blames them for being abused, somewhat like the Duluth model which says that even if the woman is the only violent one, she is likely an abuse victim lashing out at her abuser and directs the police to arrest the male victim. One thing I'm sure of, the APA has never looked into the Duluth Model, and if they did they'd probably support it given the guidelines.

I don't see how any good can come from this.

I'd suggest anyone think twice before participating, then drink a beer, and think again.

Thank you for researching this topic!

Good luck. I recently found a study done in canada with interesting results where they used random calls, asked one person per house, and then asked if they were vitcims of various forms of abuse. Results were interestings.

Good luck with that.
