Most men don't spend a lot of time thinking about what it means to them to be a man. That's because in our society, being a man is an advantage, one that does not often invite self-reflection. And, even when men are interested in discussing such topics, they are often cautious to do so for fear of being perceived as politically incorrect and chauvinistic.
The pressure to rigidly adhere to this masculine ideal can make life pretty complicated for men. Some men who seek therapy suffer from major depression; however, many are uncomfortable with the stigma that such a diagnosis carries. After all, society tells us that real men don't get depressed. And, even if they do (which they don't!), the last thing a man is going to do is talk to another man about it. Are you kidding me? No guy wants to waste another guy's time getting into all that touchy-feely stuff! That's just crazy!
