My father attended a "men's group" for over 20 years, recognizing that vulnerability wasn't just going to happen by default and he needed a dedicated time and space for it. Probably similar some ways to NA but without a specific focus on substance abuse. I myself have a weekly women's group that has been my social lifeline. We all need spaces like this to deconstruct the toxic and gendered ways we've been socialized. (And yes, it's easier for women because we've been socialized to believe that vulnerability is a feminine trait.) Thanks for speaking up about this!
