Another frequent theme is that [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|psychotherapy]], counseling and [[psychiatry]] are useless and give poor advice. It is claimed they merely parrot bluepilled notions about being nice and taking a [[shower]], and are ultimately a waste of time and money. There is indeed evidence that psychotherapist do not improve by training and that the effectiveness of psychotherapy is mostly not better than placebo (which consists in self-administered self-help, or in taking ''any'' action, other than psychotherapy). There is also some evidence (drawing on large samples from the U.S and Germany) that suggests psychotherapy can actively be harmful to the patient, being associated with negative personality changes (increases in neuroticism, stress and depression) and declines in positive traits (such as self esteem and conscientiousness).<ref>https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0092656616302410</ref> | Another frequent theme is that [[Cognitive behavioral therapy|psychotherapy]], counseling and [[psychiatry]] are useless and give poor advice.

Another frequently invoked blackpill is how increased mutational load,<ref>https://doi.org/10.1007/s40806-017-0084-x</ref> pollution, and/or changes in diet have lead to decline of masculine features, such as robust mandibles, and also reduced testosterone levels. Likewise, sperm count has reduced as much as 50% in the past decades. Such changes should predict that more men now fall below what is deemed as lowest bar for physical attractiveness by most women. | |||
