I don't see that as a weakness, wish more men would do it the other way around as well.

i wish more men would talk to other men about their issues in general.

So shutting down discussions about women's issues to put a focus on men is OK, but the reverse is not?

It is absolutely important for men to talk about their issues, we do face a lot of issues brought on by a stupid stereotype of what masculinity is supposed to be. We're not helping anyone by silencing them though, nor do we help ourselves by pushing our cause over those of others.
