41. Nope. It's a choice

Just like it's a choice to be a racist or sexist or homophobic.

Just because some act is irrational doesn't mean you need to give into it. It's not schizophrenia. Robert Byrd among others learned to reject the klan. Men have walked away from the red pill/incel movement.

I'm sure most of them won't go to therapy. A lot of the people who desperately need therapy won't go.
