Comment on What do you see that you wish others saw?

I work in the field of mental health, specifically mostly in the area of recovery mentorship.

This is an area that is effectively dominated by women.

I wish women could see how that within the realm of healing, they have constructed their own systems of power where men are oppressed, abused, belittled, and prevented from accessing those services without standing up to / enduring that level of hatred.

In short, once the oppressed have the guns, they become the oppressors.

This is a really bold claim. Do you have any examples? (Of the systems of oppression, I’m aware women are overrepresented as mental health professions)

  That is not a bold claim, that is a factual statement from someone that works directly in the field.

    No sources, so it’s your opinion plus anecdotes. Got it.

    “Cite a study or it doesn’t exist.”
    
    I use that to get my way all the time.

    Sounds like with that one specific incident was that chick was being shitty at her job. I’m a female and have had female mental health providers treat me like garbage too. It’s not a woman vs man thing. Some people are just shit humans regardless of their sex.
