This isn't a new sub but I wanted to formally introduce it to members here.

r/MalePsychology is dedicated to research and discussion related to men and masculinity.

The field of male psychology is relatively new, but there is a lot of interesting research and perspectives coming out of it.

The study of men in psychology was effectively banned for decades starting in the mid 1990s, and a strong chilling effect (or "cancel culture") arose around it due to the assumption that it must be sexist against women to study men (studying women, of course, was never viewed to be sexist against men, so women have always been included in mainstream psychology research).

We're starting to see renewed interest and less stigma around male psychology today though, so I felt like it was appropriate to create a subreddit dedicated to the topic.

The biggest developments in the field are happening in the UK and Canada. This is largely outside of the purview of the American Psychological Association (APA), which seems oddly behind the times, and possibly influenced by US style identity politics. By contrast, the British Psychological Society has established a Male Psychology Section, and has published male positive guidelines for psychologists and therapists. These guidelines assert that gender is an important part of a person's identity, and is rooted in biology just as much as sexuality is.

There are also male psychology modules available in some universities, and a textbook dedicated to the topic.

You can access some of these resources from the sidebar in the sub. They are also stickied at the top if you can't find them there.

r/MalePsychology is part of LWMA's family of "male positive" subs which I think means you can link to posts and comments without the np prefix.
