In recent years, "therapy" has become a buzzword

Isn't it quite hilarious how foids claim we need therapy since it's all up to us to change, and that all of this is in our head -implying it's all our own causing- yet then approach it this way?However, a concerning pattern emerges—many women seem to approach therapy with the assumption that they are never the problem, but rather the victims of the men in their lives.
So in other words, they're pulling the classic foid tactic of deceit, deflection, and simply making themselves seem as a victim to further exploit the nature of males.However, a concerning pattern emerges—many women seem to approach therapy with the assumption that they are never the problem, but rather the victims of the men in their lives.
Foids hardly go to therapy with a "well we're both at fault here, myself included:" Instead, they seem to approach it with the kind of mentality which they claim we ourselves have.Many women advocate for therapy, not as a space for self-reflection but as a tool to "fix" the men in their lives. They encourage boyfriends, husbands, fathers, or brothers to seek therapy under the presumption that these men are the root cause of instability or toxicity. Rarely do they enter therapy with the same level of scrutiny toward their own behavior. Instead, the narrative often focuses on how others have harmed them, reinforcing a cycle of victimhood rather than accountability.
When I was in therapy(still am but don't take it serious)I understood the whole point of it was attempting to find solutions to the issues I was facing, which ofc amounted to concede that I myself, could at times be at fault. Therapy isn't about venting about how shit others have treated you, it's about finding a way to solve these conflicts which you yourself in all likelihood contributed to.Overlooking Their Own Role in Conflict
Interactions are rarely one-sided. Yet, when discussing past relationships, workplace struggles, or family tensions, many women position themselves as the innocent party while labeling men as emotionally unavailable, immature, or manipulative. If their relationships repeatedly end in chaos, or they find themselves constantly surrounded by "toxic" people, at what point should they consider that they might be the common denominator? Therapy should be about recognizing one’s own contribution to dysfunction—not just diagnosing others.
Again, foids love to be seen as "victims n' 'pressed n'sheit" since it allows for them to do exactly this, take their therapists "advice" out of context & use it as a means to justify their own behavior: Thus, foids reinforce this cycle of perpetual victimhood it seems.Therapy as a Justification Rather Than a Solution
Another issue is the way therapy is sometimes used as a justification for bad behavior rather than a means to correct it. Instead of saying, "I need to work on how I handle conflict," it's often, "My therapist told me I should cut out people who don’t serve me." This mindset can lead to an unwillingness to engage in difficult but necessary conversations, instead opting to label others as "toxic" and walk away, rather than address personal flaws.
Ah, this is perhaps my favorite one.The "Healing Journey" That Never Ends
While self-improvement is a lifelong process, some women treat their "healing journey" as an indefinite excuse for why they can’t be held accountable. If a man reacts emotionally, he is unstable; if a woman does, she is "processing trauma." If a man struggles with communication, he "needs therapy"; if a woman struggles, she’s just “protecting her peace.” The double standard creates a situation where therapy is used to reaffirm biases rather than challenge them.
Like myself & @GeckoBus mention a lot, it seems that feminists like to follow that dialectic of "we're fighting a revolution" similar to what Bolsheviks said. The thing here is, what happens after the revolution? What's the plan after- I've yet to see that addressed?
Simply, foids just like the whole "
