--- Quote from: Farideh on 15 Nov 2022, 19:03 ---Good on Yay for calling out the 'boys don't cry / man up' statements. Makes you wonder where that came from anyway?
--- End quote ---
I don't know, but if Yay thinks it went away after the 1950s, they haven't been paying anywhere near as much attention to the world as we've all been led to believe.

Perhaps that's when they believe it has the best chance of being taught out? McCarthyism did a real number on the USA's collective psyche.

From Renée's dialogue, it sounds like at least dome of them already have.
[I can never remember ehich of the e's the tick mark goes over. Is it Reneé or Renée? Or does the final e ust serve the purpose of implying thr accent mark?]
--- End quote ---
It's Renée, and the final e is just because it's the female version of René. Reneé creates a weird pronunciation, something like Ren-uh-ay.
And someone with anxiety or other mental health issues on a level like Elliot's really shouldn't be having their friends try to do the job of a trained therapist. There is a reason that they've done that training. Things can go so wrong when laypeople try to do that, both in unwitting damage to the person they want to help and in the havoc wrought on their own mental health by taking on that kind of stressful, boundary-breaking burden in a relationship.
Perfectly Reasonable:
Google is your friend:
Renée is the female form of René, with the extra –e making it feminine according to French grammar. The name Renée is the French form of the late Roman name Renatus and the meaning is reborn or born again.
( now ask about brun and her umlaut )
hedgie:
I know better than to ask strangers about their umlauts.

Looks like Yay is trying to avoid "Roko's basilisk" situation...
