Calling it progress as 1) we seem to be moving away from the dad-bashing articles around Father's Day and 2) the article generally takes the problem seriously without minimizing it or saying women have it worse (too much).

Yes, you can still take issue with some of it (I don't know how any real scientist could say 'Historically, men’s identity didn’t have to shift as much,' said Sheehan Fisher, professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Northwestern University School of Medicine. 'They are going through a phase their own fathers didn’t go through.' when no doubt this was not studied at the time and, if anything, men's mental health was taken even less serious generations ago. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.). But the article does seem to take to task the women dismissing men suffering from postpartum depression.

As the article notes, it is scientifically proven that new fathers undergo extreme hormonal, mental, and physical changes. Sadly, too many still want to deny the science in order to bash men. Unfortunately, this appears to be especially the case with feminist men and women. See, for example, this post on MensLib from a couple of years ago where the top-voted comment (over 500) is from a woman insisting that men do not get postpartum depression because they do not experience hormonal changes. https://www.reddit.com/r/MensLib/comments/170o7kz/men_can_experience_postpartum_depression_too/

To all the new fathers and the soon-to-be-new fathers out there, please take care of yourself. I know the urge to sacrifice yourself for your child and its mother is strong, to be a "superman." But there is no shame in asking for help sometimes, to take care of yourself. You are not somehow stealing women's pain. Your pain and your feelings are valid and you deserve to have them listened to, to receive help.

Sending you all love this Father's Day brothers.
