fwiw, I’ve completely failed to figure out what JP is trying to say. Although tbf I haven’t tried very hard. But maybe he’s Rorschach-y because he doesn’t explain clearly where he’s coming from or what he’s trying to accomplish.

He's a center-right version of therapy culture directed mostly at boys and young men. That's only outrageous because it's mildly tabooed to show boys any understanding in the wider culture at the moment.

OK, yeah, that seems to be what his audience has recently made him. Based on reading his earlier stuff, seems to be a bit of an accident, wandering off his previous agenda. But I have nothing against this for opportunism.

And, yeah, a center-right version of therapy culture directed mostly at boys and young men is a fine thing IMO and much needed at the moment.

I’m planning to write REAL SOON NOW about Robert Bly’s failed attempt to do the same “man up!” thing from the center left, 25 years ago. I was peripherally involved in that at the time.

This would be the next installment in my shadow-eating series (based so far on Bly’s book on that). His _Iron John_ was a valiant attempt to deal with shadow stuff around masculinity, and showed considerable promise, but failed for various reasons I don’t totally understand yet.
