Female psychiatrist here. I totally agree with you and I would go even further. Our entire culture has become overly feminized and the result has been disastrous. We are living in a gynocracy and if we don't snap out of it, I fear for the future of Western civilization. I wrote about this here: https://pairodocs.substack.com/p/where-have-all-the-real-men-gone
I agree. The feminization of culture (temperamentally, morally, etc.) is a real problem that we can’t even begin to address until we get back to admitting that sex differences in psychology exist—and that both masculine and feminine extremes come with their fair share of problems and potential for catastrophe.
I’ll check out your pieces. Check out these two if you’re into it:
I wondered if you might have been having a bit of fun with the ambiguous essay title, initially reading it, slightly alarmingly, as putting men as patients, rather than practitioners, back into mental health. I wonder if there's a saturation point at which men might begin to wonder if it's worth the bother. Hopefully not.

Indeed, a little bit of fun was being had! Haha.
I think we’re currently at or nearing that saturation point and it’s important to course correct now, if the field is to endure in a useful way.
Important and thought-provoking on a topic that is continuously ignored in psychology.
