Man-therapy.

Every now and then I get a call from G.C.D. about my blog and what I have written. He cant remember his password to get into the comment section (why doesnt he get himself a new one?) Anyway tonight he had lots to say, and I thought I would tell you all what it was.

It was all about what I had written about feminism. And mostly about the comments written about that posting.
He was enormously scathing (no change there then!x) about me wanting it all. Wanting men to be all things. And then in the comments he blasted me about what I had written about manipulating men into carring things. He thought what Dave had written was spot on!!! (bloody men...always sticking together!!)

Then the conversation moved on to therapy. And the different kinds of therapy people may or may not need to deal with things that are all jumbled up in their heads. To put that jumbledness into some order and to put the lids back on the boxes of those things.
I asked him if he agreed with me about men not wanting to have therapy because it was not 'masculine' to ask for help to deal with things.
His answer was the *best* analagy I have heard for a long time.

"Men do have therapy. And we no less masculine for having it. Its just like asking someone to pass you a screwdriver to finish fixing something."

Inspired. Perfect man analagy. Brilliant.
