The term gaslighting doesn’t mean people AREN’T responsible for their own thoughts. It means a person who is making valid observations about the world are being told their perceptions are wrong/they are crazy by someone who benefits from making them doubt their grasp of reality.

Take a look at the cancel culture and its proponent's constant attempts to "reeducate" anyone who speaks against it and see if what you describe in not exactly what's happening there. Yet, I hold each individual responsible to use their own rational judgement.

I’m just here to inform that “gaslighting” is a very real thing, and does absolutely contribute to PTSD and triggers. And you don’t really have any way of knowing what other people’s experiences are and how they have affected them.

E.g. you may have never been personally victimized by abuse, assault, institutionalized racism, patriarchal society, etc... but that does not mean those things do not exist and harm and trigger others.

That's what I disagree. You are using the term patriarchal society as it is a real thing. I dispute that. I also dispute the current existence of institutional racism. And I reject the idea that another person is responsible for "triggering" another person.

But I do believe we have more common ground than it might appear.

It's impressive you can casually dismiss a well researched issue, then tell the person to whom you've just spoken down to that they likely agree with you on a bunch of junk.

Yeah this is gaslighting at its best. What a vile man. Men who gaslight others should always be avoided completely. They feed off of screwing with head. It makes them feel powerful and the best way to handle them is the grey rock method.

He has an entire YouTube channel where he pretends he’s an expert on women and a bunch of other stuff like vaccines etc and it’s awful.
