    Feminists criticize mental disorder


    From Wikipedia's article on Borderline personality disorder:

    Gender
    The diagnosis of BPD has been criticized from a feminist perspective.[89] This is because some of the diagnostic criteria/symptoms of the disorder uphold common gender stereotypes about women. For example, the criteria of "a pattern of unstable personal relationships, unstable self-image, and instability of mood," can all be linked to the stereotype that women are "neither decisive nor constant".[90] The question has also been raised of why women are three times more likely to be diagnosed with BPD than men...

    Re: Feminists criticize mental disorder

    Actually I have being done some in depth reading on Narcissism, and to be totally honest I would say the vast majority of feminists fit almost all of the tell tales signs of a Narcissist.

    Someone with Narcissistic Personality disorder (NPD) has at least 5 of these symptoms:

    • has a grandiose sense of self-importance (e.g., exaggerates achievements and talents, expects to be recognized as superior without commensurate achievements)
    • is preoccupied with fantasies of unlimited success, power, brilliance, beauty, or ideal love
    • believes that he or she is "special" and unique and can only be understood by, or should associate with, other special or high-status people (or institutions)
    • requires excessive admiration
    • has a sense of entitlement, i.e., unreasonable expectations of especially favorable treatment or automatic compliance with his or her expectations
    • is interpersonally exploitative, i.e., takes advantage of others to achieve his or her own ends
    • lacks empathy: is unwilling to recognize or identify with the feelings and needs of others
    • is often envious of others or believes that others are envious of him or her
    • shows arrogant, haughty behaviors or attitudes

    “The main thing diagnoses are good for is sussing out what your shrink
    thinks of you – Bipolar Affective Disorder means they like you, Unipolar
    means you’re boring, Borderline Personality Disorder means they hate you
    and Schizophrenic means you scare the shit out of them because they can’t
    keep up with your thinking.6
    This is a long read but a good look into the mind of a woman diagnosed (she prefers the word labeled) with BPD and I stopped shortly after this quote she inserted into her paper. Didn't seem to be worth much more of my time. Maybe tomorrow I will read the rest. From here

    Here is another one,It's frightening to see that when they are angry and manipulative they have child hood issues yet when men are angry and manipulative we receive no such sympathy.
    Instead we are labeled menaces to society or bad apples which need to be removed from the basket, when such a BPD diagnosis, if it fits the profile/criteria, from a psychiatrist may have helped this 'menace'.

    I said 'labeled' yet most diagnose us as menaces who should man up cuz men don't have childhood issues, right?
    Never pass up the opportunity to shut up. A smart man knows what to say.
    A wise man knows if he should say it or not

    I should heed this good advice sometimes

    Dear PWCM !

    yes! feminit new age gals have the lot ! their natural inborn weaknesses have been cultivated by the toxic feminit ideology for the last forty years - their creed and standing orders of the day - me myself and I

    but another salient character defect new age gals have is they are purblind to the fact of having this constellation of character defects and project these nasty inadequacies to men -

    the process is now facilitated and institutionalised in the Family Court where new age gals turn trusting sincere hardworking family devoted men into peonage slaves

    Any feminist who is not a licensed medical professional is not qualified to be making a critical statement about serious medical conditions.

    This is similar to men complaining about the characteristics associated with alexithymia because they uphold the idea that men cannot express their feelings. Those traits just happen to be common among the people who are diagnosed with borderline. It's not like the condition is a result of conspiracy against women.

    Re: Feminists criticize mental disorder

    Just another attempt by feminists denying the bleeding' obvious. They cannot have anything wrong with their sex as they are held up to be perfect, in their minds anyway. The problem is that fish are changing sex in England's rivers and creeks because too many women are peeing their drug enhanced body waste in that system. Now make the claim that women have reached perfection and then, go on, try to convince everyone else. It's another futile attempt to raise "women" to a higher level than men while they spend all their time denigrating our sex just to try and achieve that completely ludicrous claim..
