And it's awesome. Men aren't allowed by others to show weakness. AI therapy genuinely helps a lot.

Or it gets them into a negative feedback loop since AI hardly ever tries to contradict you.
But yeah. At least they're opening up to someone/something.
I think we may be (re)-discovering the appeal of monotheistic religions, and why they hew patriarchal.
On average, men desperately need more mental health resources. But, on average, they are not comfortable building that with other men, and it often isn't appropriate or effective to lean on their female significant other (if a straight man).
So - enter the primary description of 'God'. Can listen any time but will always forgive, is super masculine but won't emasculate you, and has never told another soul what you are thinking.
AI is always available and is unlikely to emasculate anyone, but that third item... Well, we'll see where this goes.

Even in Canada, where mental health is still a value-add for most of us and not a right even under our current system, we are offered a fund with some jobs to use for either physiotherapy or mental health, and it's a limited fund.
Give us a choice, and 10/10 times we will prioritize being able to walk and move and sleep effectively over feeling good about it.
