Have some compassions, please, for the men who try to get a feeling of masculinity. I rather doubt that the oranges will help much* – but in state of emergency they may be worth a try.

*Privately, I suppose that gaining practical competences and being useful to others, particularly to women, may be more helpful.

This is another example of the extreme bias of this blog against any and all attempts at healing or change. It is purposefully intended to distort and mock and therapeutic process that has helped many many many men in making breakthroughs.

I have benefited from this process myself and I use it often in two of the groups that I started. It is not Reparative Therapy itself and is not even intended to be a form a psychological treatment. It is an experiential process that helps get men in touch with their Core Emotions. To take it out out context and use it as an example of therapy itself is purposefully misleading.

It is not the basis of therapy (nor a replacement for therapy), but it is a helpful demonstration to use in a group setting. This blog post takes it in isolation in an attempt to defame Alan, Arthur, and others.

I first got the impression that David Pickup does not have a stellar standard of truth and ethics when I noticed a comment he made in a New Jersey paper about conversion therapies.

He did not identify himself as a conversion therapist.

Although there is no law that demands he do so, it seems to me that someone who wants dialogue for the sake of finding the truth would have revealed their interest in the dialogue and it seems to me that many people are noticing that David Pickup is not scrupulous about the truth.

That goes hand in hand with someone who would advocate quackery while having a personal financial interest in continuing with it.
