I will also say that this denigration of "feelings"-focused content is a symptom of society's mental health epidemic. Relationships are political. Mental health is health. If more people understood and appreciated this, rather than minimizing or stigmatizing fEeLiNgS, then we wouldn't have so many of the social or political problems that we currently do.

I wonder where Medium hopes to go. All I know is, if it wants to be a driver for social change, it cannot dismiss personal essay and the world of emotion.
