Too many men suffering in silence, national health report finds (Canada)

I read through the underlying report, but the survey itself is extremely unremarkable.

There were only 12 very vague questions - and none actually asked the respondent about how they felt personally: "Where do you believe stereotypes about masculinity primarily come from?"

Only about 2/3 of the respondents even identified as male - this isn't a serious study of how men themselves feel. It's more of a survey about the public perception of men.

Most things posted related to this subject on HN are essentially slop from a research perspective.

Few are even reading the article. It's mostly a way to start a discussion and vent.

This was a particular lazy government report that just happens to touch on a nascent gender war, but it is shocking how much published research in psychology is more or less like this.

Ah, interesting. Would another opinionated, but fair, framing of the survey be "If you are a man, how victimized do you feel due to your identity?"?

I had the same experience, I read the attached link, just read a lot of fluff, found the link to the actual report, and it wasn't much better. There's definitely an interesting discussion to be had about this topic, but the original post does not carry the right information to have that discussion, IMO.
