I have concerns as to how these inconsistencies and sweeping generalisations about men and boys go unchallenged.

The male has been designed to “look”, not only at the female, but to “look out” for prey, for danger, and for ways to protect his family unit.

If his child is allowed to live, this man must be available, for the rest of his life, to love and provide for his child… If, on the other hand, it is decided that his child is to be destroyed, he should be able to go about his life as if nothing has happened

…an attack upon masculinity is an attack upon one’s sense of self, of identity. …What, then, is the right psychological defence against such an attack?

For years male rape has been shown as comedy, in films to TV shows, so much that it’s now a cliché. It even appears in children’s cartoon shows such as SpongeBob SquarePants

Depuis Copernic, il sait que sa terre n'est pas le centre de l'univers. Depuis Darwin, il sait qu'il n'est pas le Roi de la création mais l’ultime bourgeon de l'évolution des espèces. Depuis Freud, il sait que sa raison n'occupe pas le centre de gravité de sa psyché.

Socialising is a basic human need. The opposite – social isolation – is one of the worst forms of torture. Some people look down on the local pub as a place for undesirable riff raff, but that narrow viewpoint misses entirely the community value of the pub

Male psychology is a recent development in academia. Unlike gender studies, feminism, and men’s studies, male psychology takes the view that we can gain more by recognising and harnessing the positive aspects of masculinity than we can by taking a relentlessly negative approach to men.

Although many companies have Employee Assistance Programmes (EAPs), there is a question over whether the help available to men is adequate. Recent research has highlighted that men and women may have different preferences for aspects of therapy, for example, in general men are less inclined than women to want to discuss their feelings as a method of dealing with stress.
