feels like you moved to armenia because your views are more welcome there. not meant as an attack or anything. I'm half tempted to read your books, but i might feel like slapping you with it. not that i would.
@@none_of_your_business i always prefer a good debate about my view AFTER someone has read my book instead of before. It saves a lot of time for both of us.
Women thrive in achievement too. Fundamental misunderstanding there. Rest and beauty are good for men too. It also made think think of that meme of a man and a woman walking and the man is saying *women are such complexe creatures* with the woman interjecting *if I could just-*; the man *so strange and difficult to understand; woman *let me just expl-* .... man: *truly a mystery lol. The words of this psychotherapist are no revelation. No offense. They are also coming from one woman. One woman cannot explain the experience of all. It's different for everybody. The things we share are and have been known and understood by women since forever. Never heard a woman say "Please be loyal, please be supportive, please show up for me emotionally?"
@@PsychesFlora rather than interpreting it as a binary absolute between how men and all women are, it's meant as a generalization of masculine and feminine ways of being, which are overrepresented by but not exclusive to each gender. The book goes into much greater detail about this.
From the introduction: www.gregorydiehl.net/blog/the-romantic-ideal-by-gregory-v-diehl-introduction "For whatever reason, masculine traits are naturally overrepresented in men and feminine traits in women. If they are the product of our evolution, experts more qualified than me can only speculate about the advantages they’ve provided that have led to their proliferation in our species. Though the potential for endless diversity and individuation exists and should be respected, there are still broad categories of personality, values, and experience that most people will primarily identify with. Most masculine men are attracted primarily to feminine women, and most feminine women are attracted primarily to masculine men, for instance. Both natural genetic/hormonal expression and social conditioning likely play significant roles in this - though that’s not a can of worms I’m ready to open here. Still, neither masculinity nor femininity is exclusive to men or women. If you don’t feel like you belong squarely in the categories I describe, apply your own judgment and self-analysis to see how what I am talking about could still broadly apply outside of you. "
@ I understand and I think it’s not a bad idea to be interested and curious about this topic at all. I just got a bit confused by the idea that it’s in any way a new topic. Also the fact that you said that this psychotherapist expressed it more eloquently than any woman you’ve ever met seemed a little far fetched? Women have been expressing and trying to express these things to men who disregard their opinions for a long time.
@ Maybe I would have been but telling me what to do does not really make your argument convincing. I’m sure she could have had her own platform if she already has a career. Women do not need to be “helped” in order to be successful, they are capable of being heard on their own! But yes it is good that you are taking an interest. Just saying if you’re going to be speaking for women maybe tone down the certainty.
love this. is your book out yet?
@@dantesmith3664 yes, since Nov 19. Here's the amazon link. The book is just 99 cents right now. Drop me a line when you finish it. amzn.to/4e7y5Y6
The title interested me, but there's no way I'm watching 38 minutes of this. 2 minutes in and I'm already bored.
@@dantepatel You can always read the book instead!

Someone's on their period.

@PsychesFlora then I guess you should be glad I am giving one of them a platform through which to contribute to that expression
