Simple Answer: NO It is not safe for men to work from home. Working from home may cause significant mental health problems to men, which can lead to long-term physical health problems.
Giving more time to family, avoiding traffic fatigue, getting more time with work, and all such stories apart, a man has few fundamentals that will result in WFH as a disaster.

Women Psychology
I have yet to meet a single woman who doesn’t get frustrated to see a man at home. They are evolutionarily wired to get worried about seeing their man at home. The more they see you home, the more the respect will deplete.
Social Dynamics
Females are more socially intelligent than men. They have to keep several relationships intact and therefore always have someone to talk to.
After 30, most men find it difficult to engage in silly talks with relatives and therefore are more lonely. Workplaces, clubs, and bars are their only talking place. Lonely=Disaster Mental Health.
Mood Swings
Due to the Estrogen cycle, females go through more mood swing cycles. Most men are not skilled enough to handle this sinusoid. You become an average of 5 people that you spend more time with!
Need
Create, Collaborate, Compete and Win, Protect and Provide, Explore, Respect, being Needed, are the most fundamental needs of a man. He needs a tribe to fulfill these basic needs.
WfH BS will lead you to end up lonely, less productive, weak, depressed, disrespected, and rejected.
The systematic onslaught on gender identity is something that you have to see, understand, comprehend, and workaround.
Conclusion
Men have more stress, less stress coping mechanisms, and are more emotionally vulnerable due to the weaker limbic brain and emotional part of the brain. Men have a higher suicide rate, they have more strokes, and they live shorter. You absolutely need a tribe and physical hardship to keep yourself going.
A skilled Alpha male intimidates everyone. The government, family, and society can’t control him, can’t manipulate him. Peers are to compete to keep up with them. A strong man is hard to take a ride for and sell BS.
So, you will be sold every false narrative that would want to take away your masculinity.
Explore unknown, take risks, put in more physical work, and strengthen your shoulder and backbone. Get internal happiness to the top level. Nothing of this happens in the comfort of home.
A man’s life is a life of sacrifice, for family, for the tribe, for the nation, for society so that they remain comfortable. The man’s life is not to live a comfortable life.
Solution
Rent a home, get a few of your colleagues there if your company wants you to work from home. Or get into a co-working space. Think rationally, not emotionally. You can also go through several articles in our mental health section, and find answers to your questions.
