That's interesting. I wasn't aware of the origin. It's unfortunate that the term is being thrown around so lightly. Regardless though, we are all responsible for our own perceptions and analysis of reality. Every person is responsible for their own actions and thoughts.

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.

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.

passionate about. DM and I'd be happy to jump on a call and talk about the work I'm doing. It's a very difficult battle to fight and many people are going about it the wrong way. Once the worst factions I'm fighting right now is MGTOW.

Of course he does, must have been all that passion he got from watching a video about how feminists do no more than send the message for him to decide that feminists are indeed doing it wrong and it be best no one send the message at all, or else MUH MOB RULE
