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

There would first need to be a fundamental change in the way boys are socialised, shifting them more towards how girls are socialised. Which I don't see happening any time soon. You can't help people that don't want to be helped and a significant portion of men's brains are in a permanent state of rejecting all help offered to them.

"Traditional Masculinity" is just in general maladaptive in the current age.

I got down-boated earlier today for saying that there's nobody out there that would argue that men and women are exactly the same, except for a little bit of environmental nudging.

That appears to be exactly what you're arguing here: All we need to do is socialize boys more like we socialize girls, and then the men they become will be happier in our society. Is that your position?

If so, can you say a little bit more about what you mean or what you envision that socialization would look like for boys?
