The question we should all care about is not how women feel at any given moment but how do they seem to be adjusting to adult life?

Next episode, I’ll go into the psychological mechanism: how grievance becomes part of personality, and why that is so difficult to undo.

If the dominant cultural framing of female empowerment is working as intended, a framing based on the feminist literature’s claim that this is important for women’s well-being, why do so many indicators point to women having trouble adjusting to a stable adult life?

I wil go through the literature's claim, the messaging and what it actually ended up doing to women's psychological make-up in next week's episode.

On Thursday I will be releasing the last piece of our Borderline puzzle:

Prevention and what needs to change on a family level, cultural, including the contributions of feminism.

This is so important, because curing Borderline is near impossible.

These fallacies are why I started Psychobabble to begin with, let me take you through what has upset me for so many years watching patients be stuck in therapy without getting anywhere- this is why!

Also: this is the first episode I have had done by an editor- happy to hear your thoughts about the format, likes and dislikes! Not sure about all the clicking noises..

Feminism didn't just shield borderline traits; it provided the fertile ground for them to flourish. By reframing traditional guardrails, like modesty and reputational vetting, as "oppression," it paralyzed the social immune system.

It is feminism’s ideological framing of ‘liberation’ that replaced women’s character accountability and ended up rewarding the low agreeableness and high neuroticism central to the borderline personality.

By "shaming-shame," feminism removed the primary internal brake that prevents the borderline personality from developing unchecked. Because shame is a biological signal for social correction.

DBT is still the gold standard of treatment for Borderline, the say 75-80% are fully recovered after. This is BS. It even reinforces the behaviour it supposedly treats- I show this in realt time.

There is something else too, the reduction of self-harm, and granted, it does actually reduce it, it’s not for the reason advertised.

Let me know what you think!
