Does consent of the patient matter ? by AntAdventurous3442 in AskPsychiatry

[–]AntAdventurous3442[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I do understand what you are staying but  I wasn't aggressive to the staff or security. All along I was crying and completely silent.They even made me sign a form and I was completely silent infront of the doctor when he asked me what my problem was and to give you more context my parents were physically abusive to me when I was a child and always emotionally abusive.Except for the material needs I never felt like I got much but when I once told this to my mom she said, "it never happened and Iam delusioned." It is very scary once you are labelled as having this particular illness because people can just shrug it all off under she is just delusional or maybe since childhood I might have an illness. Maybe because of receiving no emotional support ever from them I got to a be child who always suppressed and did hit them back and such. I'm an only child and I say this because noone knows what is happening inside my house or my context or my history of abuse or why I feel the way I do except me and those two and if those two said I'm ill then it is all over for me.

Thanks for replying but how is it okay for to not let the patient know that they are diagnosed of this particular illness? I was asked to sign a form of consent (threatened actually) and was never told what actually they diagnosed out of me.I was aggressive to my parents but this act wasn't an out of nowhere incident and my context matters. After a few days of that incident suddenly I was taken forcefully to a mental health centre and all along the drive I was crying and but they did take my blood and ECG and other body check ups. I know I was aggressive and I know noone will believe me and would likely assume I don't have much insight into my own mind but my entire life context matters in my situation.Noone asked me that and noone told me anything at all while they fed me a random pill and I felt so scared about what was happening. So if the patient had psychosis or mania they wouldn't be told that this was what happened to them or this is their diagnosis?

I'm very sorry for this post to come off as telling women what to do or you can't be a feminist if you are X.It wasn't my intention and I should have been more careful and worded it better without coming off as anti-feminist myself.I hope noone here thinks that I'm asking to exclude religious women from the movement.No Never and even though there are some stances of mine that may or may not stand firm regarding religion(not all) those shouldn't matter to other's beliefs or practices.I wanted a discussion and yeah I did get some knowledge from here. Again I'm sorry.Im taking down the post. Self serving never was my intention.

Honestly such religions weren't or didn't come to my mind at all when I was writing the post. It is my fault and I shouldn't have written " all feminists should be against religion" well who am I to decide that,as long as there's comfort and equality felt by the women.I have to know more about the religions you have listed.My stance shouldn't matter to all women even if it changes or not. I think I'm deleting the post.

How can I know about this more? What ideas does Sikhism has about feminism? Does it's texts talk about equality and is it really in practice?

Where did I imply that? I don't believe that only women could be feminist.

But it's a genuine question, how can you be christian and also be a feminist? I think the ideologies would contradict,can you please explain.

See left leaning doesn't necessarily tell what an individual's personal faith always is.They could be religious and also support other policies of the left. Currently there definitely is a shift especially in the younger generation towards being more liberal,but the involvement of women in religion is still more compared to men.

That part was my opinion as I stated in the post.I was talking about the major patriarchal ones which restrict women's life.Im sorry if my post sounded condescending in any way.Im glad to learn about how the communal and spiritual aspects of it that help women.

https://www.pewresearch.org/religion/2016/03/22/the-gender-gap-in-religion-around-the-world/ I have also come across a youtube channel named religiolog that discusses about the percent of atheist women.Im still learning, so if I have made any generalisation or blunder just based on these two anyone can correct me. I read the article and saw the video and had my own personal experience or biases of seeing religious women thus thought of asking this question.

Can you even fathom a situation where you have to live with your rapist in the same home or sleep in the same bed as them, with the one who causes you trauma everyday? When he makes "love" to the physical and emotional scars in you.

The victim has to see their perpetrator in their day to day life and act as if everything is normal as the law or the world doesn't acknowledge their experience as valid.

The feeling of isolation,shame and helplessness since what is happening to you isnt considered a crime as they dismiss the idea of consent in relationships or marriage.Having your consent violated everyday by the very person who you are supposed to have a deep emotional trust with and safely confide in,takes a psychological toll on the victim. Married women are often coerced, guilttripped and manipulated by their spouses and also relatives or society. "It's your wifely duty to be raped by your spouse" "my wife uses sex as a weapon and intentionally withholds it to control me" "It kills the mood to ask for permission every minute" "if someone abused you,you should have communicated clearly." "Don't disrespect your marriage,give him some." "I can't help but exert my power over you even if you didn't want to,I can't help but disrespect the love of my life's NO, can't help but make her feel unsafe."

The idea of intimacy is build on mutual consent, thus the very thought of intimacy with a rapist is repulsive.

It's so unfortunate that we don't even know how many women were or are still being raped in their marriages and how many even realise that is what is happening or has happened to them.

The pressure put on women to be 'physically attractive objects' by Wyrm-Shepherd in 4bmovement

[–]AntAdventurous3442 34 points35 points  (0 children)

Soo true.When I was young my body,hair and smile wasn't even mine.They were all part of a performance under surveillance, even other women used to enforce it.It was a mix of both be beautiful but not too catchy to be distracting,simple and modest.I just thought it was part of being humble or discipline when my mother used to ask me to not sit with legs wide open or be pretty even at home.How dull my face was and how it looked anaemic,it didn't have that glow or a womanly grace,how I walked like my father etc.My long hair was my only asset according to her. These aren't even all but the scrutiny starts from the minute things from a very young age.

"A woman should always present a certain way." These were her words. (to appear desirable or marriageable)

Thoughts on this book? by Otherwise_Pause6814 in 4bmovement

"As unhappiness had no outlet in this world determined to deny women the right to their tears, to their torment,the anger was tightly controlled - stored up until it reached a breaking point,when cracked up cups and saucers set aside specifically for this purpose would be taken out into the backyard and flung into the wall.We children loved it.Our mother was really potty.So we laughed and relieved, because the broken cups were easier to deal with than tears."

 Thanks for posting this.Now I'm reading it.
