"Hysteria" became Hysterical Personality Disorder. Only recently, Hysterical Personality Disorder became Histrionic Personality Disorder. The "symptoms" are mostly the same. The patriarchy is alive and well. #WGST106 #StayWoke

Did you know that of all borderline personality disorder diagnoses, 75% are women? Is this because women just have BPD more? No❤️ It's because the DSM doesn't account for social context. Women are reasonably suffering from misogyny. #WGST106 #BPD #DSM

[ShaviWGST106 @wgst106]

Symptoms of Hysteria included BOTH lack of sex drive and being overly promiscuous. Borderline and Histrionic are modern day derivatives of "Hysteria". Femininity has been pathologized throughout time in different fonts. Mostly straight, white, old men write the DSM. #WGST106 #BPD

@f_a_r_t_s i don't have much sympathy for npd that's not gonna change sorry my dude

i get it when cluster b is gendered and used to stigmatize, overdiagnosis of bpd in women, the dsm as a cultural tool to reify 'normal' conformist behavior

but, fuck narcissists forever vOv

[Aasera @AasimirSeraph]

Thisakes me wonder about the historic overdiagnosis of BPD for women and how we often see outbursts like this In men as anger issues and fragility.

[smytherines @Deezovariez]

Overdiagnosis for whom? Poor & marginalized people are still massively underdiagnosed- in large part bc diagnostic criteria for autism (and ADHD) is still centered on the experiences of middle class white adolescent boys. Women & BIPoC end up dxed w BD, BPD, ODD or remain undxed

@hoconnell2024 #WGST106 It's almost like the government WANTS to screw women over... oh wait...

The government:

@ItsOnUs @GabyGut44 @SecCardona @usedgov @EndRapeOnCampus @nwlc @EqualRightsAdv @knowyourIX @girls_inc This is so unfortunate. I wonder what Betsy DeVos got out of doing this and whether it was worth it in her head. Title IX is already such a complicated and insufficient process. It didn't need this. #WGST106

Do not be fooled.
There is no anti-abortion ideology or agenda that draws the line at a specific gestation age. A 20-week ban is just a step toward a 15-week ban which is a step toward a 6-week ban which is a step toward an outright ban.

[ShaviWGST106 @wgst106]

I wonder what women resort to in states where abortion is banned? I wonder how dangerous these methods are? What are their stories? Do lawmakers know these stories? #WGST106

@Daman51ngh I think this is a great example of how feminism benefits everyone, not just women.

@JennaStockman_ @n_sim15 One of my closest friends is bisexual and she's told me she struggles with the media messages around bisexual ppl either being straight ppl who are just experimenting or gay ppl who don't want to commit to coming out. She says it makes her question her identity often. #WGST106

@JakeEvansGA 1st of all, bald eagles r endangered but there r 5 times more humans than the planet can sustain. 2nd, a fetus is a parasite on a woman's body unlike an egg from a bird. If ppl laid eggs, maybe this would be a different convo! In the meantime, protect women's' autonomy. #WGST106
