"My experience with stigma against male mental health..."

In this video, u/Masculive talks about an experience he had in college campaigning for the creation of a men's mental health wellness officer. A position which didn't exist.

During elections for student officer positions, he nominated himself for the regular student wellness officer, thinking he could add a men's wellness officer if he got elected. Which would address issues unique to men that other genders don't experience.

He thought it made sense because there was already an officer for women, an officer for LGBTs, etc, but not men.

Straight away he worried about how to word it though. Would it seem sexist? Would it seem like he was taking away from women?

Then he decided, no, that's stupid. Men are just as important as women. And their mental health is important too.

But when he went through with it, other people called him sexist and a "meninist".

Thus demonstrating how big of a bias there is against men and men's mental health.

Btw he has a whole YouTube channel he just started called 'Masculive' and I guess he has things under @Masculive also.

I have just begun a YouTube channel to share my experiences with mental health and aim to make a big impact on male mental health particularly in the future. Please search 'Masculive' if this is something that would help you. Much love ❤
