I'll class that as the broader issue of being lied to. Society is dishonest & disingenuine in all its overtures. It is difficult being in a hostile environment, and there are consequences.

Yeah, it's hard to find a therapist who gets that part. A good therapist can help in a general sense -- and I'm glad you were helped -- but most therapists are acculturated into the same gynocentric worldview as everyone else.

Actually, they get a heavier dose of it, because most people working in the therapy field are women, and most therapy clients are women. So over time, the therapists' mind gets conditioned to see things primarily from the female point of view. The whole therapy field is also completely obsessed with Relationships as the source of, and cure for, all problems in life, which imo is a very feminine way of looking at the world.

Also, if you track APA and other organizations that set educational and licensing guidelines for therapists, you'll find that they are left-leaning and PC. That compounds the feminization of the field.

It's not a lost cause -- there are plenty of good people working in it, doing good things. But it's definitely tilted toward the female point of view. It lags badly behind in its understanding of and empathy for men.

Anyhow, glad you found yourself a good therapist.

Your broader issue is the need for society to provide validation for anything. If society is so morally bankrupt that it has created the conditions that have caused you to go your own way, why then are you then turning around and seeking (or wondering why you're not receiving) validation from that society?

Expressing the desire for personal sovereignty while seeking validation from the very thing you are seeking sovereignty from doesn't make sense. Would you seek validation from a serial killer? A member of Antifa? A human trafficker? An oil company executive? The CEO of an international bank? Of course not. So why would you give a rat's ass about what larger society thinks when these people are encouraged and rewarded by that society for being who they are and/or doing what they do?

I found it helpful that someone took me seriously for once.

But we discovered it was how I was treated because I was male and told/trained/taught/brainwashed that I'm only valuable if I am producing and providing for others.
