I will say therapy was handy for learning about cognitive behavioral therapy, but funny how my depression eased up once I...

CBT helps separate the things you can change from the things you can't. It's a mindfulness/stoic technique, something many men have mastered throughout history without calling it CBT.

Women would benefit from CBT too, but they aren't that good at it (or it doesn't interest them). They tend to be far to attached to their emotions. I skimmed the article but it was mind-boggling how the author did not identify a key reason "liberal women" why were so caught up in these "anti-CBT behaviours" - those behaviours are all classically feminine:

• Catastrophizing: very useful for playing damsel in distress to get men and others to do things for you
• Focusing on emotions: with regard to women, no explanation needed
• Enjoy being playing the victim: playing damsel in distress gets men to do stuff for you

I've said it before and will say it again, a major problem in Western society is everyone is becoming hyper-feminine and adopting these behaviours, which are useful for manipulating other people to gain some benefit, but will ultimately collapse the society if everyone is doing it (because not enough people are actually doing any work, they are all expecting someone else to fix things for them).
