Come on! That's not what I meant. Write for men - actually I think it's a brilliant idea and I support it. You are right, there's not much specifically tailored to male audience in this department.

I just tried to prompt you to slow down on the thought path of "men have it so bad, the world is unjust, etc." Doesn't sound like a good start of a useful mental health advice column to me...

Personally, when seeking information on psychology, it never even crossed my mind that it's gender non-neutral. But perhaps my obliviousness to this can be explained by me focusing on more scientifically leaning literature, rather than popular advice columns.

Having said that, I do indeed see a lot of value in more laymen pop advice on psychology targeting male audience.

There seems to be an assumption men can cope with mental health issues and those that can't seem to be considered weak and wimps.

Also this expectation then also leads men with MH issues to probably feel worse about
themselves.

We could see this as sexist, as if someone said women are just weak we would be branded a Misogynist

The term Misandry is prejudice or hatred of men is seldom used in the media, and yet there are probably good examples of this
