#2This might be one of the issues of our times: men unable to talk about their feelings, unable to maybe even care about themselves because we learned we shouldn’t and we are afraid how we are seen if we do.
Sometimes beeing strong means to become vulnerable.

#3I participated in men's work, not specifically the ManKind Project but a closely related organization. I personally found it helpful doing weekly check-ins and having people holding me accountable to my goals.
Unfortunately, the stigma regarding men sharing feelings is prevalent in western society, and it's not only the men causing it. When I told several female friends about the work they did, their response was: "Are they gay?"

It sounds like you're saying this is a high priority issue. Why do you feel that way?

The paywall is not what irks me. It's all the crap they post that either invokes super inflammatory commentary here on HN (like, men being emotional, men being anxious, men being xyz) or the really NERF-level stuff that lacks any substance and really just makes you think of Captain Obvious™

#8I've got a pet peeve for articles that focus on events as if they were isolated in time, one of a kind, or unprecedented.
No mention of similar mens groups that occurred 30 to 50+ years ago? There's the Mythopoetic men's movement for one.
