First, a very little bit about myself: personal interest in sexist attitudes towards men since college, studied psychology, honors thesis was on noncustodial fathers, attachment to their kids, and social and legal barriers to forming those attachments (what a depressing literature review that was).

Went to grad school for clinical psychology, kinda left my academic interest in men's issues behind as I thoroughly geeked out on neuropsychology and experimental cognitive psychology/behavioral neuroscience.

Finished my PhD, postdoc, got licensed, blah blah blah. Somewhere along the way, I implicitly bought into some blue pill nonsense (hard not to do in psych programs) but thank god the harder sciences work which I was involved were still dominated by men or I would have lost my mind. I've been practicing for some time.

Increasingly I have focused on men's issues and therapy with men (to the limited degree that I still do therapy). Also, personal experiences gave me first hand knowledge of the worst of women (and, in my own juvenile retaliation, the worst of myself).

On this point, it's important for psychologists to do some peer supervision to help balance their own issues, assessments, and therapies employed, with the reality of patients' issues. However, the rank and file feminists composing by professional peers are less than helpful in these fronts.

So, my question is this, anyone out there? If so, have you thought/dealt with this? I know Farrel, Zimbardo, Glover, and some of the clinicians on AVfM have written on some of this stuff and I've done some of these guys' trainings (about which I remain less than enthused).

Maybe an additional question for everyone would be, had any therapist actually empowered and helped you to be a better man rather than a more successful beta?
