That' s a tough question to answer. I think lots of men do just as well in therapy, but lots of men find the whole thing extremely intimidating. I'd like to say they can just do their own work, without having to be vulnerable around someone else, but if they've been taught that being vulnerable is wrong, how are they going to let themselves be vulnerable even to themselves? How would they learn that it's OK?

I think maybe having male friends whom they respect be emotionally mature and caring people would probably be the best thing.

I'm not the right guy to ask. I see all this propaganda for "being vulnerable IS STRONG and VERY MACHO" and "being loving and caring is the most MANLY thing you can be" and my response is, "What are you fucking 3-years-old defining your entire personality by your genitalia?" The whole gender binary to me is ridiculous, but a lot of people cling to it for dear life.
