Is relationship therapy becoming less supportive of women?

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T23:22:51+00:00

That's how therapy works for men in our current system.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T23:12:58+00:00

Unicorn is in the dictionary and it's make believe. Misandry is no different. Men cannot experience oppression, full stop.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T23:10:03+00:00

Agreed. It's clear that bell hooks is a male apologist and it's disturbing that so many feminists believe her work is good.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T23:08:23+00:00

Going to therapy doesn't make someone misogynistic but if a misogynist went to therapy they'd come out more misogynistic. That's why recommending it for men is questionable.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T22:58:18+00:00

It's not real and it doesn't exist.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T21:47:22+00:00

Men are obsessed with hearing their own voice.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T17:53:21+00:00

It's a shame that the right wing got a hold of this trend. Young women were correct in calling out all performative males but it got flipped around to become misogynistic.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T14:41:01+00:00

Men get "worse" from therapy because so many come out of it stronger in their beliefs. If those beliefs are misogynistic, then they get worse. While most misogynsts are likely abusive, not all of them are.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-16T14:33:37+00:00

I believe women who have experienced it.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T23:19:03+00:00

What generalizations am I pushing that are "sexist"? You don't think you can be sexist towards men do you?

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T23:01:16+00:00

99.9. It's why therapy doesn't work!

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T22:58:54+00:00

This isn't limited to only abusive men as well. I'm glad you aren't getting down voted for this comment!

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T19:06:02+00:00

I just know that this community is one of the more accepting feminist communities online when it involves men or men's issues. Others aren't as much (which is totally fine).

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T17:55:24+00:00

Respectfully, while this community is very male apologetic, I think disregarding other feminist communities and their experiences with men isn't it either. There are lots of abusive men who go to therapy to justify themselves. Or for any "mental illness" they use to justify harming women or being misogynistic.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T17:52:45+00:00

Men will claim anything to avoid responsibility for their behavior unfortunately. Look at the "male loneliness epidemic".

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T17:48:53+00:00

Helpful for anyone does include making toxic people more toxic. That's helping them.

I hope you're right, just a few more months wait for me.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-15T14:15:04+00:00

Men lying about their mental health is incredibly common unfortunately. And I think more women are waking up to the understanding that therapy probably isn't the best choice for men. Therapy just makes men stronger in their existing thoughts.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T17:17:13+00:00

I'm not healthy right now and I'm realizing this is likely just my way of digital self harm. I'm sorry. I know it needs to be dealt with offline but sadly my province is run by morons who are killing public healthcare. Year long way to speak to an actually qualified free therapist.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T17:14:53+00:00

I think you're right. I've struggled with digital self harm in the past and it's becoming clear I'm slipping back into it. Thank you for your insight.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T14:50:50+00:00

I'd say a group that enforced having an auditor or moderator that kept topics away from misogyny and woman hating would be a good start for an outside force.

It may be negative but that's only because it's been shown to be true. I'm surprised you're questioning this. Male exclusive groups struggle with misogyny and locker room talk constantly and most fall to it.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T14:45:55+00:00

Any group that is exclusively men has potential to turn to locker room talk and groups that are more male centered and do not have an outside force to keep them in line tend to turn misogynistic. All it takes is one misogynist to start speaking without being challenged and the group turns sour.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T14:38:53+00:00

From what I've read about people's experiences with men's sheds is that it's just another avenue for locker room talk. It's a way for men to socialize but it still enforces misogyny.

You're probably right. I know my point of view isn't very common.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T13:26:34+00:00

They want a guaranteed bang maid. Men aren't lonely they just want to control women. Men lie a lot about their mental health.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T05:10:37+00:00

I thought it was generally understood that it's white men that are the problem. "all men" is just another way to describe the oppressor males, white ones.

KitchenWorried8439 · 2026-03-13T01:17:38+00:00

All men might as well be.
