I would feel so pissed if someone tried to tell me how hard white men have it right now, and particularly a therapist that I liked. Besides my belief that it's about time they lost some of their power and privilege, what she is saying is kind of stereotyping them in a bad way. I know at least three white men...my husband and two friends who are not frightened or confused at all about how they should approach women. They should approach them the same way they always have, with respect and with the understanding that if the woman says "no" it means "no."

It really sounds like something in that letter or something about the topic triggered something in her. If so she needs to handle it. I'd be hesitant to give up a therapist because of one mistake on her part (which I believe this was) simply because finding good ones is hard. But I'm not sure I'd let it drop either. I'd have to talk to her more about it. I hope she is able to listen.
Thanks for this!
