It's been in my mind for a while and I'm just curious to know if it'd be a bad idea / frowned upon if I did that.

I haven’t the slightest clue as to why anyone would be opposed to this, especially people in the field who know that men’s mental health is a major issue
Of course not.
It’s a good idea, an overlooked topic
No, the problem is that the space has been largely claimed by people who insist on using legitimate issues impacting men as a bludgeon to attack women with. You'll have to be aware of that and work to make sure you're clearly standing apart from those people.
Of course not.
Be sure to choose an MSW with a strong clinical (mental health) program. Avoid an online program. They don't have good practicum options.
no
I am in the same boat. I am doing an online MSW and they are not saying anything about men's mental health. Every topic they discuss is men as the perpetrators and women as the victims and I just cannot understand why we can't be inclusive of everybody?
No, why would it? Can't be any weirder than a male gynecologist and most people don't worry about that.
