Here is a summary of the article “How the Manosphere led us to develop better mental health services for men” by John Barry1:

The article explores how some men who seek help online end up in the Manosphere, a network of websites and forums that promote various ideologies and views on masculinity, feminism, and gender relations.

The author argues that some aspects of the Manosphere can be beneficial for men’s mental health, such as providing peer support, encouraging self-improvement, and teaching cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) skills.

However, the author also acknowledges that some parts of the Manosphere can be harmful, such as promoting misogyny, violence, and extremism.

The author suggests that mental health professionals should learn from the Manosphere and develop more male-friendly services that address the specific needs and preferences of men.

The author cites examples of such services, such as The Centre for Male Psychology2, which offers online courses and workshops on topics such as male suicide prevention, male domestic abuse victims, and male sexual trauma.
