Mr. McDonald, Hi. I have a question about something you wrote recently: "Nearly all the doctors, therapists, and teachers who promote this [gender-fluidity] abuse are women." Here's my question: Why do you think women are leading the charge in this sick trend? 🤮 Thank you for any insight, Mike

When men withdraw from their masculine role in society, it creates a vacuum. That vacuum is then filled by hysterical women who lack emotional containment. Women who advance the abuse and mutilation of children are either lacking meaning in their lives, emotional containment, or both. Some are, I have come to believe, simply possessed by evil.(less)

You ascribe groupthink towards actually reasonable behaviors, like masking or being vaccinated, when the robotic, unthinking legions continue to worship the most vile, immoral, corrupt, and dangerously narcissistic ex-president in history, who seems bent on retribution, and abandonment of NATO allies, with the embrace of the worst militaristic dictators? As a mental health pro, attack by gender is misogynistic abuse.

Mark McDonald Thank you for your comment, D Grader. As your professor, I hold this up as an outstanding academic example of TDS.

Sadism--The Next Ugly Stage of the Pandemic of Fear

At the beginning of the pandemic, I felt sympathy and pity for those who chose to live in fear. Many had been misinformed by media, politicians, and bureaucrats whose investment in accumulating wealth and consolidating power outweighed any loyalty to ethics, truth, and public welfare. Now, I believe that maintaining that sympathy may be not only undeserved but potentially harmful, because the fear Read more of this blog post »

The goal of therapy is not to feel good—it is to live in reality, regardless of how it may feel. Over time, patients can modulate the way they feel, but they can never modify reality itself, as it exists independent of them. Attempting to redefine reality is delusional and serves only as a defense against emotional discomfort. For”

“The 1970s brought fears of environmental collapse and even the extinction of the human race. Since the first Earth Day on April 22, 1970, this sense of impending doom has only gotten worse, with a series of panics about overpopulation, ozone depletion, peak oil, global warming, extreme weather events, deforestation, nuclear energy disasters, mass species extinction, poisoning by agricultural chemicals, electromagnetic and cell phone radiation, and rising sea levels that are predicted to drown American cities.”
