Is there much coverage of men's issues, especially relationships, emotions and mental health in the media?

Just had a discussion with dp, who thinks that although it's great and important that women's issues are now receiving attention in the media, men's mental health and other male issues are less prominent.

He doesn't mean males in the media in general (of which there are undeniably many!), but feels males are still expected not to talk about mental health, emotions, relationships, etc. and that more emotionally sensitive or vulnerable males feel invisible.

I said I'd seen lots of articles about males and emotions. Personally I feel discussion of mental health seems to get turned towards men and how they don't talk about it (though all the men I know do!).

I wonder if there's anywhere to find statistics on this. It might just be bias (I look out for such articles as I have a pre teen son).

Mate. You're taking the piss. Marginalised? Are you being fucking serious? No, we women will not solve your problems. Not only have men never solved wome 's problems, they're often the cause of them. Go and tell your male friends to be kind.

I see loads on my instagram feed, I'm not looking for it but I do look at women supporting women and mental health (amount other things) my insta feed is very joyful and positive and obviously men and their contributions are part of that, I don't discriminate if someone has something interesting to say (or funny or stylist).

Is your DH one of those guys who thinks SM is just scantly clad women, cos he needs to encourage his algorithm by not seeking out those images and looking for men's mental health. Does he know about podcasts? I think he'd find some stuff there too.

Bless him, he just doesn't sound very proactive that's all (inc you posting on here in his behalf....esp on this board rather than 'chat' etc)
