I love this article so much and believe you’ve tapped into something complicated and so profoundly true. I want to share this article everywhere, but I am married and then I have to explain that I’m not dating, it’s just a really f-ing awesome article that captures a complicated way that men defend against shame and women absorb it.

I’m personally preoccupied with the subtle ways that women take care of men’s feelings. This is an article that I believe helps move this understanding forward and, ultimately, can help free women up so that we can have our own minds and men can start learning to deal with their own feelings.

Lastly, I think you’ve more or less written a psychoanalytic paper for the layperson…that’s no easy feat.

In this world of internet and real-life jerkos, please know that you’ve found a fan in me.
