Some examples would include men who were sexually abused by their mothers as children, recently divorced men who have just lost custody of their children, or men currently in abusive relationships.
There is a reason why counselling services will ask clients whether they'd rather a male or female counsellor.
I think the problem is that, theoretically, a men's area would be used for these things only on rare occasion. I don't think there is enough outside of these kinds of issues to justify a men's area otherwise. Men's issues tend to be glossed over anyway.
I don't see any real reason for an entire area.
