Thoughts on this?

Having spent only about a month active on r/malementalhealth it’s painfully clear to me that men are increasingly put in a double bind. Young men especially are at a loss. If they follow the traditional roles of suppressing their emotions and being assertive they face disapprobation. Yet if they are open with their emotions and admit weakness they risk alienating the people they are closest to. It’s a no-win situation. I’m sure a lot of male psychologists realize this but find the risk of raising the issue too great a disincentive.

This article criticizes the APA guidelines for working with men on several points. Im curious to hear you guy's perspective on this. Is it valid or not? What parts do you especially agree or disagree with hear?

I always liked Pinker, and here he does a great job of succinctly separating positive from "toxic" masculinity.
