    Many guys would rather be stranded than face what’s wrong with them in therapy.

    Terry Crews said as much in a interview: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UJa4jGqMc70

    To pararaphrase, basically, he argues the manosphere has pitched externalizing one’s problems as manliness. And he argues one of the toughest things he’s had to do, and what he argues is supremely “manly,” is to look at your failings critically, head on. And own them. This is (often) what should happen in therapy.
