    Good morning! Let's talk about gaslighting! Gaslighting, one of the most psychologically damaging types of harassment, is when serial abusers present false information or a false narrative to make you doubt your own memory, perceptions, sanity, or professional knowledge.

        Gaslighting shows up in many different ways, from abusive interpersonal relationships where you are made to doubt your own lived experiences, to online hate mobs that tell you that their abuse is not actually abuse…

        Gaslighting is when a serial harasser shows up at your panel with a mob of angry men with the goal of intimidation and then proceeds to tell you and everyone else who will listen that *you* harassed them.https://www.polygon.com/features/2017/6/27/15880582/anita-sarkeesian-garbage-human-vidcon-interview …

        Gaslighting is such a constant in my life that whenever I tweet about my own experiences (especially wrt harassment), my mentions are inundated with posts that are purposely meant to make me doubt my motives and especially my own lived reality.

        And it works. I have to regularly check in with my team to be reassured and to check my own sanity because a gaslighter’s goal is to make the target confused and create feelings of self-doubt and uncertainty about their own reality.

        It's also what men's magazines in the 90s constantly used to advise men to do when confronted by a girlfriend. And we wonder how we got here...

        Sudden realization that I should have had a long time ago: The song "It Wasn't Me" by Shaggy is also gaslighting advice.

        Though at the end of the song he's like "no I'm going to come clean" no-one ever remembers that part

        "Gonna tell her that I'm sorry for the pain that I've caused, I've been listening to your reasoning it makes no sense at all, you may think that you're a player but you're completely lost" isn't as catchy as "it wasn't me"

        ...if only they’d repeated it half as many times as “it wasn’t me”, or even once.

        You don't have professional knowledge, Anita. You're a scam marketer. My academic and professional credentials run circles around you. You're propped up entirely by uncritically positive media spin and corporate handouts. You are a confirmed liar, bully, and probably a sociopath.

        Does gaslighting also include, like, when they subtlely reframe what you say? Like if you bring up a concern and they’re like “well you must be really tired right now”

        Absolutely. Causes you to doubt your own perception/interpretation of things around you.
