Sexy But Psycho

I got the hard-cover copy of this book. I had to. Here's what I found online about it:

"Angry, opinionated, mouthy, aggressive, hysterical, mad, disordered, crazy, psycho, delusional, borderline, hormonal... Women have long been pathologized, locked up and medicated for not conforming to whichever norms or stereotypes are expected of them in that time and space. Sexy But Psycho is a challenging and uncomfortable book which seeks to explore the way professionals and society at large pathologize and sexualize women and girls.

Utilizing decades of research, real case studies and new data from her own work, Dr Taylor's book will critically analyze the way we label women with personality disorders. Why are women and girls pathologized for being angry about oppression and abuse? How have so many women been duped into believing that they are mentally ill, for having normal and natural reactions to their experiences? Sexy But Psycho argues that there is a specific purpose to convincing women and girls that they are mentally ill, as the world avoids addressing violence against women and their centuries of ignored trauma."

As you know, I'm diagnosed and medicated. I've always been suspicious of my diagnosis. There are days I don't think I'm Bipolar i. and, in fact, I don't even think it's a real thing. It's so men can work. A medical umbrella term to describe being a moody woman? FUCK YOU!
