Women and children seem to suffer the most from PTSD...

VulcanSpaceSquirrel · 2020-10-05T14:28:57+00:00

I posted a long while ago here. “Show me a female version of Boko Haram.”

NOT an example of a woman serial killer. NOT an example of a woman cult leader. NOT an example of a woman who convinced someone to murder. We know these women exist. Duh.

Show me an organized group of hundreds(thousands?) of WOMEN who kill, rape, subjugate, and use MEN and BOYS. Who dump their bodies in mass graves after using them to the point of death. Look up Boko Haram and show me the equivalent with women who do that.

You can’t. There are none.

Yep. This is a well-document psychological phenomenon.

Though there are exceptions, in almost every case women internalize their abuse and mental illness (self-harm, repeatedly entering abusive relationships, etc.) and men externalize theirs (shooting up schools, raping/murdering, perpetrating abuse against others.)

When I hear "but he was abused as a child!" as an excuse for killers/rapists/abusers, I can't help but say, "If abuse caused people to commit heinous crimes, most violent crimes would be committed by women."

But they don't! Men commit about 90% of violent crimes even though women/girls are more likely to be abuse victims. Something's not adding up here.

Right so here's my thing. You often seen much of the manosphere talk about how men suffer abuse too, how men's mental health issues are important, how there's all this online/pop culture messaging about women's mental health issues but not for men, etc. but like, men, by and large, still aren't doing anything about it? AND, not just that, the men in those spaces are hostile to other men who are clearly going through mental health issues. Can you imagine a woman opening up online to other women and having those women tell her to kill herself? Nope, but it defs happens in men's online spaces. When some of my male friends are targeting specific other friends for things like being a virgin, being fat, etc. I'm the one calling them out for bullying. And these are guys who can acknowledge how toxic masculinity can be, but, in practice, engage in those behaviors.

I've also read that women tend to feel more intense emotional pain and for longer periods of time. But when you bring it up with your partner, you're just being dramatic or crazy.

I highly recommend this book to anyone who suffers from trauma, especially those that found no relief through traditional therapy

You know what’s so great about this book? It’s not just his well researched and highly effective treatments. It’s the case studies. I found it hard to put the book down because I was so intrigued by their stories. 10/10 all around.

I’m adding this to my book list, thanks for the suggestion 🙏

In case no one else has mentioned it, women suffer PTSD rates at more than twice the rate of men, and it’s primarily the result of sexual assault. Link

So men create the wars that cause PTSD and they engage in the violence that causes PTSD in women.

The book has been life changing for me, all 16 hours of audible book lol.

msromperstomper · 2020-10-05T19:01:28+00:00

I started doing yoga this summer because of this book and it has been life-changing. If you suffer from trauma, you know how easy it can be for one thing to set you off because it's not just that one thing, it's that one thing on top of that big pile of things that already had you on edge. I learned how yoga is being used to deal with trauma, and it has had an incredible effect on modulating my emotions, particularly emotional reactions to men. I highly recommend both this book and yoga as part of your leveling up.

Maybe we could do something about this if people actually accepted the fact that men are the problem.

With how many men and BOYS you see murdering, raping, recording females and putting it onto pornhub without their permission or even awareness, putting their sperm, putting feces or urine into women’s food without their awareness, along with a bunch of other things you’d think we’d be able to actually say that men are the problem.

But we can’t. We can’t even be wary of men and be open about it without people losing it and saying “not all men!!” Even though it’s a great majority of them. But people will say that all women are evil if a woman refuses to do anal and everyone will agree.

uwubewwa · 2020-10-05T17:29:56+00:00

John Douglas himself said that men are the problem.

sassylittlespoon · 2020-10-05T17:42:36+00:00

I’m going to add this to my list. I suspect that I have some form of c-PTSD from abuse. Don’t worry, therapy is on the list, too. Thanks for the recommendation!

I'm just waiting for bone marrow babies to become a reality ❤️

Absolutely, I have autoimmune disorders and all sorts of illnesses thanks to being raped, abducted, groomed and abuse conjured upon me by my parents. It's the only explanation because I've never smoked, don't drink, don't dis drugs and have a good diet. Plus I was exposed to asbestos and black mould during my childhood. Us women and children also tend to internalise our pain, thus manifests in illness, whether it be physical or mental. Men are more likely to lash out at others with their pain. I'm 35 and still learning to deal with it in a healthy way.

Penises are the biggest and worst disease to this planet.

Sad I will never feel truly safe in my lifetime but what can you do

This is a great book. The authors interview on the On Being podcast is also amazing and was a lot more accessible than the book, for me.

straighthairgreece · 2020-10-05T15:27:13+00:00

I remember reading somewhere that girls internalize their abuse and place the harm on themselves whereas boys place the harm on others and viciously continue the cycle

When will we have the conversation that boys/men are naturally predisposed to be more violent? It's the only logical explanation. Two genders can go through the exact same abuse and one is more likely to kill/rape/attack than the other.
