Educator abuse- "a new sense of self"
Meh:
It's fine Hops.
I don't think this forum is the best place for political talk because of how much it riles people up.
Thing is I felt so freaked out by what I was witnessing and it's caused me to question what can take hold in education systems.
Okay, I see what you mean. What I am writing is totally freaky.
It all sounds alarmist. I'm sorry if I freaked you out.
I'm not here to promote anything really I'm just trying to get to the bottom of what is going on and why.
Hopalong:
I know you are, Posh.
Not mad at you at all.
Just being a little mouse at the mo'.
I'm glad you're working through whatever you need to.
hugs
Hops

Well - many forms of abuse replicate the same techniques of the "big lie". Somewhere in the ancient threads of Twiggy's story, I know I brought it up. (My nickname way back when.)
And yes, I completely understand how it bothers you; it bothers me too; and it bothers Hops differently - but still bothers.
As to finding this condoned in an educational setting, I think the best advice is to remove yourself from the source of the triggering, ie, the class and that prof. Which you've already done. And get some calm back into your life before you start thinking about this again. Just to take care of yourSELF first. The issue isn't going anywhere.
That's the main thing Mouse. Just take care of yourself - and if that means completely ignoring the issue; do so until you're feeling better within yourself... before you think about studying this again; IF you ever do. You can be a lovely, well-educated person without going in depth into the dark side of humanity.
Why do you think I'm watching so many period soap operas on tv? LOLOLOLOL. It's a comforting little world, where people mostly know what the rules are and mostly follow them... and the non-comformists are tolerated as "eccentric". We do what we have to, to take care of ourselves.
Meh:
Yeah there is nothing new happening.
A psychopath gets into an institution assumes a type of "moral pollution is inherent in a race" which needs to be sought out and destroyed. It's tantamount to destroying a person of course, the "sin" is assumed.
It's one thing to study Marxism, radical politics, abuse, political science, covert operations... it's quite another thing to be a victim of it.
Thanks Skep but I have no intention of being a lovely or polite person. My tongue feels weaponized with the knowledge of history and the insight of prior experience of "voicelessness."
Do not mind me. I will just yammer on about this out of a personal necessity to have "a voice" somewhere. I have left that male-run class and moved to a female-run class with the same moral cleansing program but new class is presented in a less domineering way. This is some departmental prerogative, I'm getting the sense that the whole program is highly influenced by two guys in the department. Whatever.
Meh:
