Have you noticed how a number of men’s rights forums are using BPD as a stick to beat the female population with? They mistakenly believe BPD to be a largely female condition and often refer to people suffering from this severe mental illness as ‘evil’.
The horrifyingly aggressive face of modern misogyny, which appears to have taken root particularly among young men and boys, and the fact the internet provides a forum for such deep-seated loathing increases the likelihood of it spilling over into real life and places women at greater risk of abuse and worse.
In the past, the men’s rights movement struggled to gain mainstream recognition, but it has since garnered a worldwide following with the help of the internet and social media. A number of websites have been set up and publications printed.
But are they actually missing the point?
Feminism is not a zero-sum game, where every breakthrough for women means a loss for men. The sooner angry, bitter men realise that and stop blaming women for their inability to get the right job, win custody of their children or end up in prison the better off we will all be.
Oh and as far as BPD is concerned 50% of sufferers are male
“People with BPD are like people with third degree burns over 90% of their bodies. Lacking emotional skin, they feel agony at the slightest touch or movement.”
― Marsha M. Linehan
Remember when passing judgement on the BPD sufferer, that he or she has no desire to cause pain to others. They have been so damaged themselves that they are like porcupines who curl into a ball to prevent themselves from drowning in more intolerable fear and pain.
I feel I must add to this page after reading some more very disturbing stuff on the internet by this weird guy, Paul Elam. He claims to fight for equal rights for men and believes BPD is a female excuse for evil women to abuse their male partners.
‘What is clear is that Elam has amassed tens of thousands of followers — and lined his pockets with their donations to the for-profit AVFM, which are estimated to be in the hundreds of thousands of dollars. (When asked how this money is spent, Elam told BuzzFeed News that A Voice for Men’s finances were “none of your fucking business.”)
Elam is equally tight-lipped about where his inspiration comes from. He likes to remind his followers that he knows the sacrifices men make thanks to his own experiences, which he speaks of often. But in telling his life story again and again, Elam has conveniently left much out.
Now, exclusive interviews with Elam’s ex-wives and daughter and newly uncovered court records shed light on a man who, they told BuzzFeed News, has depended on and
emotionally abused the women in his own life…….. he abandoned his biological children not once but twice. Although Elam says that “fathers are forced to pay child support like it was mafia protection money,” he accused his first wife of lying about being raped so he could relinquish his parental rights and avoid paying child support……..His ex-wife and his daughter said he has only been able to make A Voice for Men his full-time job because of the women who have supported him throughout his life.'(read more)
This man writes extensively about women with BPD ignoring the male sufferer completely. He describes the mental illness sufferer as:-
“dangerous asshole that should be avoided like the plague.” This individual, typically a female (yes this is documented) is one whose mental state renders her a significant emotional, psychological and often physical danger to anyone in her life, and in particular men with whom she becomes involved romantically.
Paul Elam is not only very badly informed, he is the sort of abuser that sadly many BPD sufferers find themselves in dangerous relationships with, both male and female. People with borderline personality disorder(BPD) are especially vulnerable to abusive relationships due to the intense self-hatred and fear of abandonment common to the disorder. Due to the unstable sense of self, it is difficult for a person with BPD to leave an abusive relationship. People with BPD may believe they deserve the abuse and have a hard time seeing the abuser for what they are. Paul Elam sees the BPD sufferer as a problem for him. I would argue he and narcassistic personality disorder sufferers like him (yes, having read his rantings I would say that is an accurate diagnosis) is the problem for the BPD sufferer and for that matter, just about anybody else besides.
“Women have gained almost complete mastery of their reproductive lives, with an abundance of birth control options, the availability and legality of abortion when wanted, and the ability to chase men to the ends of the earth for child support, even when the man shelling out the money isn’t the father. All this has transpired in a political climate that makes women’s issues and women themselves sacrosanct — above question for anyone who knows what’s good for them.”
WHAT A PRAT!
