> "At least for men who'd prefer to feel useful over being listened to, which, in my experience, is most of them."
This article is dangerous nonsense dressed up as helpful advice. DHH seems to misunderstand what therapy actually does and who it helps. He talks about therapy like a person who has never been talks about therapy.

This is harmful stereotyping wrapped in folksy wisdom. DHH is reinforcing the idea that needing to be heard is somehow less masculine than fixing motorcycles.
Stop creating barriers where none need to exist. Stop telling people what they do or don't need based on your limited experience, especially if your experience is one involving a custom-made supercar. Like, where's the self-awareness? Probably in therapy waiting to be discovered.
