This is a great article. Your writing is incredibly illustrative and logical. The long history of ableist abuse in the mental health industry against women in particular is a really important, often ignored, subject.

What irritates me (as a former designer/art director) is, for the subjects that Psychology Today report on, there are so SO many more creative ways to illustrate those concepts. I don’t know if Jim Cooke is still around these parts, but dude is a brilliant designer. A good design can be poetry - and no sexism… Read more
This reminds me of this amazing film from the early 90s called “Rate it X.” In it, the intrepid documentarians visit a lot of sexist men and places to understand the roots of their sexism. One place they visited was a restaurant called “The headless woman” - which the owner said was the only way to have a quiet… Read more
Click on the link to the picture- past issue covers are on the right- they are all of beautiful women (with mental health problems printed across their faces). Because history, it is sometimes meaningful how someone chooses to depict different genders/races. A woman bound with tape over her mouth and wound around her… Read more
This piece is really, really great for spotlighting all the commenters who’ve never taken a college class, do not understand things like context or historical connotation, and who possess absolutely no critical thinking skills. Turns out there’s a whole lot of them.

Thank you SO MUCH for this article. I suffer from Borderline Personality Disorder and articles like this have led to so much stigma, self-righteous and sanctimonious lecturing and more consequences than you could imagine. I am not saying for one second we’re not difficult to be around but sick of people being told to… Read more
Fantastic post on a legitimately fucked up cover. The painted feature might be the most wtf part of it for me. Read more

When I was in my 2o’s, I had a cute butt, perky tits and tiny waist. (But no silicone tits right under my chin.) Now I’m almost 67. After two pregnancies and a hard bout with breast cancer 18 year ago, I have a saggy ass, thick waist, poochy tummy and lopsided boobs. I still go to the gym to increase my muscle mass,… Read more
The poster is great but I can’t help thinking that she looks more like Mia Wasikowska and JLaw had a baby. Read more

At least if he’s planning “The 5,000 Fingers Of Doctor P”, we know all it takes to stop him is a field full of rakes…
Rutgers prof here. If Christie really wanted to do something to help students drowning in debt, he would reform New Jersey’s student loan program. But since he is the one who transformed it into a for profit free-for-all in the first place, this seems a bit unlikely. https://www.propublica.org/article/new-jerseys-stude… Read more

I imagine it will be like many of my ‘oh my’ feelings of famous people, where it’s really just them in one particular character. The guy who plays Prince Albert in Victoria? Only attractive to me as that character. We have a guy at work who portrays Thomas Jefferson and uft, as Jefferson? Awesome. As just regular… Read more
