Thank you for taking our quiz.

If you answered yes to most or all of the questions you are not alone. Many men struggle with these issues.  We believe there are unlimited ways of being a man. How you chose to live your life as a man is your decision. We, the MRMC, are just wanting to encourage men to express their masculinity in ways that are healthy for them, those they care about, and our society at large.  You may wish to keep your answers private. If you are concerned about your answers to some of these questions you may wish to share your concerns with a trusted friend or family member. If you are currently in counseling you may wish to share your concerns with your counselor or group leader. If you are not receiving counseling but would like assistance in locating a counselor (and live in Lane County) see resource section.
