girlish girls, manly men.

No, that's not a straw man. A straw man is if I misrepresent your position and then argue against that. Please tell me where I have misrepresented your position and how.

Here:
It also doesn't mean that this is some kind of useful way out of clinical depression in any individual case, irrespective of what WebMD writes. I mean, you are trying to insinuate that these people would not have depression if they adopted your lifestyle.

I'm not making a claim regarding an individual case. You insinuate that I am.

You are trying to establish a rule that is supposed to work in the majority of cases apart from exceptions, and I'm pointing out that you do it using faulty logic, and therefore you have not presented a valid argument.

Are you seriously unaware of studies on exercise and depression? And you people say I'm ignorant! Yes, in general, exercise, eating right etc. have a positive impact on mood in depressed people.

I think you are stretching my metaphor a bit too far.

Seems reasonable to me.
