No, what I’m saying is, this is exactly the same as if she was of a certain race, and people who are prejudiced against this group decide to attribute her actions to her skin color, even when there are other more viable explanations.
We are bombarded with negative messages—misinformation and hate speech—about people…

Again, a big NOPE.

Without having the facts in hand, choosing to attribute this to her brain illness rather than to any number of other viable explanations (she’s angry at what she’s undergone; she’s a teenager; she’s actually telling the truth) is pure stigma.

So much Stockholm syndrome, when our feminism is has been taken hostage by the movement’s need to be bffs with a highly oppressive mainstream pop culture. I don’t know if it’s accurate to say so, but I’d like to blame capitalism’s core value of ‘personal choice’ having infected our intellectual discourse. You create…
