Dude…being in charge of your own life can be a little scary for some of us. Some of us are still making that transition to being independent. Let us celebrate the little things.
This topic has bothered me for ages….I want a world where femininity is respected as much as masculinity, and where anyone can choose aspects of either or neither to embody. But I can kind of understand the focus on feminism trying to open historically male things to women….because for the most part, those things included owning property and being able to have jobs and being considered a person…
And I would argue that having one Disney character who says maybe not being girly is cool isn’t really a bad thing, considering the actual princess line is very feminine, and for every girl who feels like being feminine isn’t cool anymore, there’s another who feels left out because they don’t enjoy traditional femininity and don’t fit in with their peers.
On the other hand, we feminists, and everyone really, could do with learning how to build one thing up without saying another is lesser.
I know this is a satire site but good satire makes a point….and to make the point that being a slave is actually pretty great…that is so beyond tasteless.
It does not “manifest” differently. It is diagnosed differently. There have been studies that have found that when the same case on paper is presented to psychologists who diagnose, cases with female names are likely to be given a BPD diagnosis, while male names are likely to receive Antisocial Personality Disorder diagnoses. The symptoms of BPD are often misdagnosed as BD in generall, since mood instability is a feature of both.
I think a pertinent point should also be not to let people think that “sociopath” is an actual diagnosis, as those of us with mental illness have enough trouble with stigma as it is. Especially people with BPD. The last thing they need is another article equating their illness with being a monster.
Don’t call your ex a sociopath unless they’re a sociopath. Which isn’t an actual diagnosis. And is not the same as BPD. BPD often gets diagnosed as avoidant personality disorder in men. This article wouldn’t have lost anything by not speculating about BPD.
