One thing that may sound controversial to some(it’s not) is the amount of mental anguish and stress placed on men. Expected to provide, be tough, be smart, and never complain. If they do voice problems about their mental health many times they are shot down or ridiculed by both sides. This stress of being the provider/protector and everything that comes along with that on a societal level should not be underestimated. It goes hand in hand with higher suicide rates.
