I doubt she actually researched it, though. Seems like she had a team of people do the researching for her, then she just memorized it and clumsily regurgitates it during interviews, ala Sarah Palin.

Right, batterers batter to have control and power over another person. That desire and impulse for control and power over another is a result of unresolved trauma.

PTSD and Bipolar don't necessarily make someone a batterer, but unresolved trauma is the reason one becomes a batterer. It lays the neural pathways down that lead to dysregulated emotion and triggered implicit memories that result in battering.

Thank you!! I was thinking the same thing. "Aging gracefully" is just a re-worked phrase that promotes the exact same bullshit Oprah and these women are railing against. Give me a break.

SLIT! holy shit. takes me back!

Our civilization is a hot fucking mess.

love love love!

I don't know what you're trying to say. There's a specific test on there that will demonstrate most if not all white people feel superior to black people. So I was trying to point out that yes, most people hold prejudices and most white people are racist in their thinking whether they consciously know it or not.

You can hire minorities and still have racist thinking.

To this, I suggest this and taking one of the tests on race: https://implicit.harvard.edu/implicit/takea…

Thank you for saying this and being real about it.

Stick it out, girl. Took me a solid year of being off the pill before things got back to normal. And they've never been better.
