Yup. A buddy of mine has a BA in psychology and he says the APA is ideologically compromised. They consider "toxic masculinity" a disorder now. Most therapists are feminists and frankly feminism is the root cause of a lot mental health problems men have.
Read the latest DSM from the APA. It says everything you need to know about the profession. Shrinks have always bent with the cultural winds, since what they do is not that much different from witch doctoring.
Because modern therapy is based off methods designed to treat women by talking about something face to face. Men don't do this.
Men share problems the same way they share burdens: shoulder to shoulder.
If you are a guy and one of your friends is going through shit the second best thing you can do is not ask about it. The best thing you can do is spend time with your friend doing stuff like hiking/exercising until he feels ready to bring up whatever is going on. But I bet you he won't be facing you when he starts talking about it and might never do.
Exactly. Talking is overrated. Much of it is pointless fluff. Taking your buddy out shooting, going to the gym or a sauna together is much more effective at reducing stress.

This is stereotyped nonsense. Masculinity isn't about being a macho caricature. Putting thought into words and untangling it through conversation is how I solve my issues and I'm not unmasculine.

I think that might be a tad too far. Having a deep conversation with a friend, that helps them sort themselves out, and find a way of fixing what's wrong is very beneficial. Just talking for talking or de-stressing is a different issue. Your friend might actually want help, rather than just want you to listen to him bitch.
Men don't need therapy.
For a man, therapy is going into your garage and scratch building a bike rack out of scrap. Or walking up a mountain.
"Captain Kirk is climbing the mountain, why is he climbing the mountain?"
Because Shatner saw himself getting old as fuck and he needed to remind himself he was still alive and still able to do things.
"To challenge the rock. Challenge death."
No man needs to sit on a couch and have some Jewish woman tell him about his toxic masculinity.
Masculinity is the CURE, not the poison.
Some people need therapy to be told that, though many therapists today might do more harm that good.

Psychology was the first institution that was taken over, back when they caved to the gay lobby to consider homosexual behavior as perfectly healthy.

Yeah, this is the case for a bunch of men who are already below par and have no idea how to begin unfucking themselves.
