Have you seen the report about the woman who as an experiment lived as a man for a year and became so depressed she killed herself? Let me see if I can find the article:
Here we go. Forgive the direct Grok quote:
"Norah Vincent was an American journalist and author who, in the early 2000s, spent about 18 months (not exactly one year, but close) living undercover as a man named "Ned" for her 2006 book Self-Made Man: One Woman's Year Disguised as a Man.
"She used makeup (including fake stubble), a flattop haircut, voice training, binding, and other techniques to pass as male. She immersed herself in male-dominated or all-male spaces like bowling leagues, men's groups, a monastery, sales jobs, and more to explore gender roles and male experiences from the inside.
"The experience was psychologically taxing for her. It contributed to a depressive breakdown (she checked herself into a psychiatric facility afterward). She died by assisted suicide at a clinic in Switzerland on July 6, 2022, at age 53. Her death was reported in August 2022."
Yes, I remember her well. She was deeply impacted by her experiment. Most women I have run into who do anything similar develop a deep respect for men. Max Valerio is a good example. Many years ago Max became a trans man and in the process started understanding men in a very potent way. I remember Max talking in his book about trying to explain his new understanding of men to his feminist friends. Of course, what did they do? They tossed him out as a misogynist!

Congratulations on The Way Men Heal, Tom. I know you are, as am I, deeply skeptical of Social Work's attitude toward men and our needs, but how great it would be if you could get the nation's largest provider of mental health services to adopt your new site as at least a resource, if not the main text, for much-needed Social Work courses on mental health services for men…
Hi Jack - Thanks. I fear that that all branches of mental health are so drenched in feminist hate that there is little hope. It's going to take a big event to shift some of that thinking. I am happy playing my small part as opposition to the hate.
I hope this man heals: A heartbroken boyfriend has shared the brutal way his girlfriend reacted after he gave her the birthday gift she had "begged" for.
Non-consensual divorce, legal kidnapping of children, ransoming of them under slavery.
The moral shock of a drowning of the soul and smashing of the ego on the rocks or moral shock.
Intersectional betrayal opens the spiritual body and the light escapes to illuminated the dark night of soul.
If he survives the procedural and administrative waterboarding he ends up like Job in the ashes, a procession of traitors who sold him in to Satan's testum come to blame him for his fate.
Then he rediscovers his golden orb of pre duality boyish intellect with the wild man and his wounds are filled in by molten gold.
He can return with clean anger not sulking or wrath.
Integrate his shadow, and recall his anima projection from woman.
I was watching both of my grandsons (3 year old & 8 month old) recently. The article on play was absolutely "spot on". Theirs is a very tactile world.
Thank you for posting this.
This all makes sense to me!

It's all a rite of passage.
Non-consensual divorce, legal kidnapping of children, ransoming of them under slavery.
The moral shock of a drowning of the soul and smashing of the ego on the rocks or moral shock.
