Doesn’t address my point. Which is the weaponization of therapy-speak. Or socio-economic terms in this case.

Imma stop you right there. No where did any of the men referenced in the article ask for women to do this. Women took this role upon themself, and are complaining about it. As if they are playing. Like the victim.
If a man wants to sit at home and play video games and you want to “fix” him by making him dress up and go to events he’s not interested in — you’re not doing him a favor. He’s doing you a favor by going along.
And it’s pretty gross the way women demand a man be emotionally available and then immediately complain when he opens up and grouse about being a therapist. Imagine if a man complained about being a therapist every time his partner opened up. You’d be disgusted.
This article does not mention video games. I also don’t see any points about women fixing men’s behavior.

A partner can be a supportive partner while not being a therapist. It would be unfair to overstep the boundary of supportive partner and pressure them into taking more responsibility.
If your focus is strictly on the definition. I have nothing to offer. I don’t understand the purpose of giving words that much influence over my life. They are just words that will change meaning over time anyways.
