Final Answer :
A
Explanation :
Many feminist therapists believe that men can benefit from feminist therapy, as it can help them recognize and challenge harmful societal messages about masculinity and promote more equal and fulfilling relationships with women. However, they do not view men as inherently the enemy of their clients and do not necessarily believe that conforming closely to traditional masculine roles is beneficial. While assertiveness and independence can be important, they are not necessarily the only or most important goals of feminist therapy for men.
