Wait what’s the difference between female disease, women trouble, and imaginary women trouble? I’m not sure which box to tick.
You needed to exhibit at least one to be admitted to the "lunatic asylum"

Are you certain it’s not Hysteria or Uterine Derangement?

Overstudy of religion.
Lol. You have to study it just enough to get hooked, but not enough to notice the inconsistencies.

I think this is their reference to a specific manifestation of OCD known as Scrupulosity, where the individual in question is obsessed with piety to the point where it becomes detrimental to their ability to function.

Suppression of masturbation and excessive masturbation implies they consider some level of masturbation to be not just acceptable, but required.
Suspending disbelief: How do they know?!?
Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 2 months ago
Even if you got the right frequency and duration (better not be "masturbation for 30 years), you can still get admitted for “deranged masturbation” or just “masturbation and syphilis”
Also “excessive sexual abuse”… Cause y’know there’s a healthy amount
boonhet@sopuli.xyz 2 months ago
Or masturbation and tobacco

Excessive Sexual Abuse
normal amount of s.a. is fine, just don’t be excessive with being abused. or abusing? it’s unclear

The Bible says you can beat slaves as much as you want as long as they dont immediately die or lose body parts,
I guess they used rules similar to that, if it’s in the good book it must be goodMadison420@lemmy.world 2 months ago
You can beat your spouse with a rod so long as the rod is no thicker than your thumb and no longer than your forearm.

I see “Uterine Derrangement” “Woman Troubles” and “Female Disease”, so yeah, I assume there’s a level of sexual abuse they deemed acceptable.

Politics and deranged masturbation…
Well that’s everyone here I guess

The War
Yes, The War is making us all very anxious and we hear nothing but horrible news about it all day long. Please stop The War. That’s the only way we can ever be happy again.

If only we could throw people into asylums for ‘Greediness’, the world would be a much better place.
Also … Fell From Horse In War? So, what? Falling from a horse outside of a war isn’t good enough? Is it really that different, psychologically speaking, whether your equestrian accident happened during war or not?

I’d like to sign up for Masturbation for 30 Years, please.
We didn’t have cool electives like these when I was in high school.

Female disease!?

Legally distinct from “woman troubles”
Women. Am I right?

Look at the DSM nowadays. Psychiatry hasn’t changed by a bit. They only consider “mad” those who do not look after pumping the LSC system. Unironically, those who do drugs, do crimes and look only for money are considered “sane” in nowadays society.
jeffw@lemmy.world 2 months ago
This… doesn’t look real. That’s not language they’d use in that notably broad time frame
preussischblau@lemmy.ca 2 months ago
“Parents were cousins” yeah that’s barely notable in modern West Virginia let alone in that time period.
Also, the Salvation Army only entered WV in 1883, seems to be cutting it a bit close to be notable enough to make it onto that list.
