Why are there so few male therapists compared to female ones? I went to a shrink recently, and it was a woman, and it honestly made me feel so angry. I felt worse than before. For all the talk about patriarchy and male supremacy, therapists seem to take a female worldview as default and universal. Their definition of "mental health" seems to be: acting, feeling and thinking more like a liberal woman. All advice and conversational points I got there pointed in that direction.

I now understand why Jordan Peterson had the success he did. For all his flaws, at least he approaches male issues from a distinctly male lens that tells men and boys to embrace who they are instead of trying a psychic sex change.

>It doesn't fucking matter if you normalise homosexuality or not.

It absolutely matters. If it's not normalized, then it may still be done, but people still get the message that it's not something that "should" be done, that it's something better relegated to the margins and underbelly of society and not something that should dictate how "proper" society should work.

Normalized homosexuality just further drills the idea that the purpose of sex is the immediate gratification of the people that fuck, and not the building of a family. In this respect, it's not the primary cause of decay, which is the sexual revolution itself, but it is a symptom of its deepening. Because when sex gets divorced from family, what you get is the commodification of sex, the destruction of ties of trust between people.

Observe how men and women distrust each other right now. Part of that is due to the economy, but the changing in sexual morals has played a role in that too. Women hate when they get pumped and dumped; men (other than the absolute top percentile) fear divorce and/or inceldom. Not even same-sex relationships are safe now, as they used to be reasonably assumable to be free of the sexual element, but now, since gays are normals, everyone expects that two close friends of the same sex eventually get intimate, which either makes people push each other away or introduces the messy element of sexuality into their relationship.

This is all a consequence of accepting the notion that sex is divorced from making babies. It literally destroyed trust and social cohesion, reduced people's long range vision, and is most likely irreversible until the collapse happens.
