It's amusing when people try to tell me that Psychology, therapy, etc is just for women.

"Modern Psychology" is about 150 years old. Women have only been able to broadly participate in that study for the past ~50 years. As women have generally been excluded from medical research, women were only included in psychology studies in the past 30-50 yrs. And so most of the theories we have in psychology, PTSD, etc. were based on studies of men, done by men.

For most of it's history Psychology was a study by men, for men.

Okay, I think you're a little bit sensitive on this subject. Which is kind of understandable as you've been to therapy as far as I remember. Do you really hear that often? I don't remember when I've heard such thing. Sounds like a thing old guy living his whole life in same village would say.

O ya, I've had people give me lectures on this right to my face!

How often? Daily or just couple people who said that?

it was a popular trope about a year ago. I would see it online a lot.

I had a good friend give me a lecture on this... a former good friend.

Didn't notice it. From my perspective I had a lot against therapy, I viewed it as allowing some1 into my head. Now I'm happy that I was there ;p
