Hi Dr. T! I listened to the show today. I really enjoyed it. It was good to hear You and Paul talking in a serious and caring manner about the problems men face in our society. I was moved by how sensitive and intelligent you both sounded as you spoke to another and especially the callers. I look forward to hearing more of your show in the future.
Hi Iron John,
Thank you for the kind feedback and for registering here at S4M. Welcome!
I’m a little speechless by your feedback, actually, don’t know what else to say except thank you. And that I’ll do my best to keep improving the quality of the show.

Dr. T,
How do you know my life is like this? Listening to your opening piece, I feel a huge weight being lifted. Amazing!: I experienced a number of emotions during your radio show: tremendous relief of being understood, belly laughs from being tickled at the incisive truth and silliness of your sarcastic skit, and even a few tears forming at the back of my eyes from experiencing your insightful and courageous voice for men (a bit challenging since I usually listen to your show at work). Your website and show is going to save my life. And thanks so much for Paul Elam’s participation.
Now you’re going to make me cry, RTMan.
And, yes, thank you to Paul for being our guest this week. He always brings some extra “oomph” with him.
Thank you for your very kind words and support, RTMan.
Dr T
I listened to the intro by Dr. T and Mr. Elam and found myself nodding my head in agreement, so much so that I almost threw up my arms in the air and shouted “Testify!”
What struck me most was Mr. Elam’s comparison of men in today’s society to pack mules, and how we have been steered into that role by society at large.
I hope to listen to the rest of the embed tomorrow, work permitting…
Dr T; I had a great time listening to the show and I loved how you two spoke of male anger being scary compared to female anger being empowerment. I also liked how you mentioned; if you’re not pissed off you’re not paying attention- this perfectly describes most men sadly. I try to talk to peers and co-workers (mostly male) about misandry and unfairness in the justice system and I am routinely ignored. Just like most men in relationships with bpd’s and other pd’s they are ignored and ridiculed. I find the same result when I try to steer a guy I see in an emotionally abusive relationship towards helping themselves- they turn on me or they completely act as if nothing is wrong. (wtf?) Anyways, great show and hats off to you both. You should start thinking about the two of you challenging people like Dr. Phil & Sharon Osbourne or Oprah to UNEDITED (no cutting) debates on male and female portrayal in media and how it is hurtful to both. This I’d love to see- unlikely but a guy’s gotta daydream right?
I ,particularly , enjoyed Mr Elam’s remarks concerning the oft repeated sterotyping of men as the less communicative and less in touch with their emotions. I have heard this so much, even on support sites for betrayed spouses(victims of infidelity) where, invariable, even sympathetic women and men posters point to men as being more interested in strictly physical relatins vs emotional conectin in having affairs. And, the mantra that the woman cheated due to emotional neglect and/or lack of communciation is very popular, as well.
But, as Paul points out, this sterotype , really, has no relation to reality, what with all the artists, philosophers, authors, poets etc who were/are male.
And,my own experience with male friens is nothing like is portrayed by the stereotypes. We talk , all the time , abour our feelings, desires, aspirations etc. We talk about mundane things, as well. But so do women.
I have been privy to many conversation between women and between men and women and I never got the impression that women were deeper or better communicators. Many rimes, their conversations were every bit as superficial as the ones where men are dicussing boxscores or carbeurators etc.
This srerotype is trotted out, a lot, to justify women cheating and , also, to just shut guys up. And, just like a lot of the sruff that is accepted, many times the guys, themselves, are promoting this or accepting it.
It is crazy. we have male legislators and male judges enacting and upholding laws that are harmful to their own gender. We have male cops arriving on the scene and , simply, accepting the woman’s version of what transpired and hauling guys off to court. We do not prosecute women who falsely accuse men. Women sexual predators get slaps on the wrists as compared to men. And, on and on…
What the heck happened such that men have been devalued like this?
