Compare: anorexics reject food "by themselves". But supporting an anorexic does not mean just yelling at them "EAT THE FOOD". Likewise supporting men to get therapy does not just mean yelling "GO TO THERAPY".
Sorry, by "by themselves" I meant "by other men" rather than by the individuals who are failing to seek therapy. I agree that this is the result of abusive conditioning and needs a systemic approach to fix. I'm certainly against yelling "go to therapy" at anyone.

TBH I'm mostly
on whether therapy helps at the individual level at all - I think it's much more useful to have a whole bunch of therapy skills in the water in a community than therapy is for individuals themselves. -
(I think therapy clearly helps if you have a great patient/therapist match, a willingness to work on your problems yourself, a lot of money to throw at the problem, and the sort of problems that are amenable to solving with therapy, but that's a lot of preconditions)
