Would it be nice if men were more spiritual?

With apologies to all the spiritually focused men out there, I have something for ladies who are looking for a more emotionally expressive man willing to take up some of the emotional labor.

It’s a little like this…

Dear Fellow Planet Waver:

Every time I’m cuddled up under the covers watching an endless stream of TikToks at 3 am after swilling down six ready-to-drink ice-cold bottled Starbucks Frappuccinos, then smoking some weed to calm down which didn’t exactly work, I see many complaints about men.

I think the algorithm is stalking me. And everyone. These little videos get millions of views. I learn a lot from them.

For example, men don’t do enough housework, or they’re always down in the basement reinventing the power grid and don’t want to hear about how my day went.

And the big one: men are not mystical enough. They don’t understand me.

They’re not into spirituality or tarot cards.

A Course in Marigolds?

What’s wrong with them?

They haven’t read all the books in the Women who Run With Women Who Think They Run With Wolves series. They believe there’s something called “A Course in Marigolds.” They’ve never even heard of Shirley MacLaine. They think the Sacred Feminine is a strip bar in New Jersey. (In fact, it’s in Fort Lee.)

I’ve heard many of my women clients say, “I wish my husband had an incense-proffered altar to Srimati Radharani instead of that stupid work bench!” Or, “My boyfriend never wants to go to the Omega Institute with me and take the five-day ‘How To Be a Better Person’ intensive for our special vacation.”

And my clients always add, “I tell him Omega has the best vegan-macrobiotic cafeteria on the East Coast,” and that John of God paid for the new sewage treatment facility, but it doesn’t matter. All they want is a rib eye medium rare and a microbrew!

I know, I know.

It is maddening. I don’t know how you can stand it. You have my deepest empathy.

I get it — you cannot “Netflix and chill” to Man on Fire, BEEF, or endless reruns of MacGyver on Hulu. And face it, he’ll never want you to watch Age of Attraction, in case you might get any bright ideas.

But It Gets Even Worse — Much Worse, In Fact, Far Worse

Lots of women say they’re doing all the emotional labor — and should get paid as therapists. It’s not just that men need to take out the trash more than once a year.

One of my clients heard her husband say to a friend, “As long as I sweep the kitchen every month or two, nobody can say I don’t do it at all.”

It’s not merely that men fail to recognize what all women know: that “taking out the trash” is a powerful symbol for facing one’s Jungian shadow material, which you learned from 10 years of reading (the former Dr.) Liz Greene’s free horoscope service. And only you know why you feel the need to clean the kitchen sink every half hour.

All women want men to be more emotionally available. The power grid doesn’t care if he’s able to cry or has unresolved mommy issues. Face it, transistors always let a man sublimate his true feelings into the heat of a soldering iron. Some younger men dump their emotions into the subsystem of a relational database and then modifying the A-record so no teenaged North Korean hacker could ever find them, even using the TOR browser. (Stay away!)

You Do Not Want to Be This Woman

But admit it, sometimes you feel like her. You may even gradually be becoming her. This may even be an actual photo of you. It’s how your life has been ever since you gave your trusty old iMac to your niece, thinking it would simplify things because computers are bad.

Now you need five different devices you don’t understand, you can’t print anything, and the worst part is, even your dog cannot concentrate — and you know why: you know what he’s thinking.

I have the perfect solution for you.

*You want an astrologer who can cover the Supreme Court — and bake cornbread from scratch. This non-A.I. photo and the cornbread created in my kitchen.*
