Piper makes you think. If you like your Pablum lukewarm and tasteless, don't read John Piper. If you wish to be mentally stretched, DO read John Piper.
Dee and Deb define theological Pablum and helicopter parenting.
Dissecting Wartburgwatch and I-Monk which presents themselves as blogs dissecting Christian trends but dissect, mostly, conservative Evangelicals who have an historic orthodox view of Scripture. Not a lot of happy commenters seen on those blogs.

NO, you DON'T have a chemical imbalance of the brain
https://www.psychologytoday.com/blog/mental-illness-metaphor/201709/the-myth-the-chemical-imbalance
"I don't believe I have ever heard a knowledgeable, well-trained psychiatrist make such a preposterous claim [that patients have a chemical imbalance], except perhaps to mock it...In truth, the 'chemical imbalance' notion was always a kind of urban legend—never a theory seriously propounded by well-informed psychiatrists." –Ronald W. Pies, M.D., Professor of Psychiatry, the State University of New York and Tufts University School of Medicine

T.W.W. believes in church discipline; their's not yours. They expel and shun voices against the narrative
Commenters have always been free to say terrible things about conservative evangelicals.

What kind of lawyer would ever write that about an individual he doesn't know?

You want to reduce the sexual harrassment/abuse of women? Bring back the Patriarchy
If you've been following the Hollywood/Weinstein story - here's some updates
http://www.breitbart.com/big-hollywood/2017/10/13/live-updates-weinstein-challenges-firing-defiant-kathleen-kennedy-calls-for-commission/
What you should understand, "strong and independent women" simply get steam-rolled by evil men.
Feminism denies this; gender egalitarians deny this but look at the facts so clearly seen in the Weinstein debacle.
How can vulnerable young women be protected? By strong men who have a vested interest in defending and protecting these women - Grandfathers, fathers, brothers, uncles.
Sadly and mistakenly, even the "Christian" culture of our time wants to take the power away from the fathers, husbands and brothers who are most likely to go to war to defend the women in their lives.
If you're are a patriarch and your 17 year old daughter announces she's headed for L.A. or Nashville or N.Y.C. to make it in the entertainment industry you're gonna look her in the eye and say, "Hell no - over my dead body."
But if you're an egalitarian and your wife supports your daughter's desire to be a star then you'll let her go and she will get steamrolled by men who see her simply as a sexual object. She will be scarred.
FINAL THOUGHT: I don't forsee the affirmation of patriarchy happening in the near future. What I do see is; new laws will be passed, tweets will be tweeted, Harvey Weinstein will be punished and the men who are criminals will ignore the new laws and continue to abuse/harass and assault vulnerable women despite the tweets.
Evil is not constrained by tweets nor blog essays.
Evil is constrained by Godly patriarchy.
