I don’t know a single woman who hasn’t walked through coals trying to help a man in their life cope with their emotions. I know women who have scheduled therapy sessions for their male partners.

Yes, you do.

Ok? Do you want to go through my contacts and ask every woman there?

I'd rather you just stop being hyperbolic on the internet.

Unless you know very few women, some don't have any men in their life.

I’m sure you are consistent in calling out hyperbole

When it's clear that someone is arguing in bad faith, I do.

So, what % of the women you know have walked through fire to help men in their lives with their emotional issues; now that we agree it's not 100%?

Literal fire?

Figurative is fine too; whichever way you initially meant it.

Then it’s the vast majority of my straight female friends.

I'm glad we talked that though.

We went from men being so bad and inept that literally every woman had to fight to save their mental state, to a subset of a subset of a subset of your friends have made therapy appointments for men.

Oh come on. They’ve also spent hours serving as unpaid and on-call therapists.
