Sorry I'm not really interested in psychoanalyzing this guy. There are a enough talented(?) songwriters around so that I don't have to put up with these sorts of things.... you know, abject misogyny. I feel like HN community has a very low tolerance for this sort of thing, why is this guy immune? Because he's relatable? Gross.
Look, if you're still an adult listening to this stuff and it's not just a "once a year because of nostalgia" deal... I have serious questions.
Just to be clear, the point I was making was the opposite. He seems to struggle relating to other people, and other people struggle to relate to him.
Personally, my take is that it's worth developing empathy in general and I think that responding to people with disgust is an anti-pattern. As the cliche goes, be hard on the problem, soft on the person.
