Police: "You're mentally ill."
Person: "Er no I'm not?"
Police: "Looks like anosognosia, get on the ground, now."
As if.
We're about to see a resurgence in hysteria diagnoses.
Anytime there's a woman that says something you don't like...shes hysterical. Bring her to the asylum and give her a lobotomy and/or a hysterectomy, and see if they improve.
These were common medical procedures in "the good ol days" that MAGA harkens back to...the mid 20th century. Not distant past or far away.
And yes, it was used to abuse and control women, far more than any noble reason.
Nice little side-effect of a hysterectomy is you can nut inside and never have to worry about babies or making Jesus cry.
What's the over/under on hysteria getting into the next edition of the DSM?
Edit to add: what's really great about this round (not) is we've got organized armies of virgins that are conditioned through chauvinist "influencers" and unlimited free porn to objectify and belittle women openly.
Buckle up ladies. And arm up, too. Gonna get worse before it gets better.
Yeah, it's not a coincidence that this is happening just as they're trying to classify disagreeing with Trump as mental illness
Look up excited delirium if ya wanna have a bad time.
And cops are oh so good at diagnosing medical conditions. 🤬
Person: a concern for one's own safety in the face of dangers that are real and immediate is the process of a rational mind.
Police: oh, carry on.
Kurt Cobain: just because you're paranoid don't mean they're not after you
Courtney Love, to herself: oh shit, he's on to me!
Sorry for getting my 90s conspiracy theory joke on your lovely Catch 22 reference 😁
