It's definitely not only his perception. Most men don't want to talk about their issues publicly with strangers, who might not even be health care professionals.

And I like to just point out that implying that it's just him is both humiliating and toxic.

And we especially do not want to talk about our issues with health care professionals.

There's an enormous amount of truth to the "men will do ____ instead of going to therapy" meme.

My reading of the parent's comment is that they're not referring to strangers: your pub, social club, church, &c is frequently an intimate community.

You made an assertion about "most men" and then called another person's contradicting view "humiliating and toxic". You are not providing any sort of evidence to support your point through some objective measurement either, you're simply extrapolating your experience onto the majority of men. How is that not humiliating and toxic by your own logic?
