The worst abuse I ever endured came at the hands of my mother. Physical? Occasionally. Mentally and emotionally? Constantly.

I have noticed the men most susceptible to abuse are the "golden retriever energy" type of guys. Coincidentally "golden retriever boyfriends" are all the rage nowadays. Subservient men seem to be rewarded socially, but privately I think it's very common for these men to experience constant disrespect and verbal abuse. I've seen it with MANY friends actually, I wonder if you guys have seen or experienced the same.

I think the issue is framing it as “mens issues” at all. Studies find both men and women feel less empathy for men, and a lot of women seem to fall for the apex fallacy, so when you bring up men’s issues they imagine the minority of particularly successful men and don’t understand why their issues should be focused on. The worst example of this was the “male loneliness crisis”. The attempt seemed to be to try and create empathy for socially isolated men, but women are primarily focused on socially successful men, an isolated man is low value and to be avoided, whenever it’s discussed the comments are flooded with women denying it or mocking it for these reasons.

Women's organizations aren't towing the line because there is no line to tow. You hear women need help and you naturally believe it and want to help. You hear men need help and think, well did he have a job? Did he break any laws? Is he abusive? Is he w good man? Does he deserve help?

Count the bones of young men still dug up around Stalingrad and tell me society has ever cared about men.

Hello Chris: On the subject of men and therapy, Adam Lane Smith on your show, said that most therapists are women and they don't understand what men need in therapy. I am in Sydney Australia and this year I have been mentoring a 13yo boy. The people at the mentoring organisation didn't seem to understand what men need. Have a lovely day.
