And? That it only talks about women's and not men's experiences is for sure a fair criticism.

The men don't suffer from RHS though, so it's less relevant on an article about RHS. Perhaps there is another article that could be written about them.
Well, that's not surprising; RHS is defined as a condition of women. Men can't get it.

I don't believe "RHS" exists as a real medical condition. It sounds just like girlies being girly, with teddy-bears and social circles and so on; and blokes being blokey and controlling the remote. This is just people being people.

Or they could report about the "male" version and make it more balanced. How is that not fair?
Because the number of retirement age Japanese couples where the man stayed at home and the woman worked full-time late into the evenings for her entire career is probably in the hundreds.
No my point was more -- there must be a male experience of "I'm not working any more suddenly -- now that I've just retired-- and have to hang around at home all the time with nothing to do and my wife seems angry about it."

How does that feel for them?

Of course there is, but that's not the subject of this Wikipedia article...

Imagine if there's an article about what the psychological effects are if you have a family member in deep coma for many years. You're complaining that that article isn't talking about the effects of being in deep coma for many years on a person. They're different subjects!

Do you think that there's not studies that dive into this?
Are there?
