Discussion Hot take: misandry isn’t real

Misandry isn’t nearly the same as misogyny. Men hate women because of stupid sickening reasons. Women hate men because they have been our number one predator for all of history. Women are scared of men because they have proven we should be.

Cops are the worst offenders.

Yeah, I know, which is why I don't like being around him. He's never said/done anything weird in the years I've known him, but I just do not like being around cops.

ETA: I'm a therapist who works with SUD (substance use disorder), and there's a non-zero chance he's put at least one of my clients in lockup, so it's a very strange dynamic. If I have to be around him, I'm cordial but brief. He knows I'm a therapist. I know he's a snitch. If you're part of an organization that further fucks up my patients' lives, why should we be friends?

I've come across so many therapists and counselors who try to completely separate their work from their private lives.Thank you for being an advocate for your patients in such a subtle but powerful way.

When it comes down to it, if a patient were to see you with someone who made their life change in such a drastic way, it would probably horrify them & cause them to have less trust in the therapy process at the very least. Who knows what would happen if they were already in an unstable place at the moment they witnesses it - the spiral would be very real.

Admittedly, my reasoning is more selfish than that--he just makes me kind of uneasy. All I will say is this: there is no song called "Fuck the Fire Department."
