Everyone can benefit from a therapist and everyone can benefit from a loving, caring partner.

Who knew?

I would say that, conditional to the man having a partner, intimacy is a hell of a lot more accessible than therapy. Provided that intimacy is not rationed or made conditional, this could provide more lasting and more timely healing than therapy as well.

With that said, we really need to normalize men seeking therapy. There are far too many men where the conditions above are not met, and so could and would benefit more from therapy than intimacy.

Women: “I want a guy in touch with his feelings.”

Men: “I want a woman I can share my feelings with.”

Internet people: “Women aren’t your mommy, go see a therapist with your dumb feelings.”

Me, too moron to interact with human: “Hello kitty, wanna watch King Of the Hill again? Me too, I’ll get the blanket.”
