w/ #ThePatriarchs: How Men Came to Rule
"So society can change, but our ability to envision this is limited by how our contemporary assumptions about men and women colour our readings of the past, and of our biological natures. “We would do well to think of biological sex, like biological race as an excuse rather than a cause for any sexism,"

Nacque oggi, 130 anni fa, e visse fino a 100 anni, Elizabeth Holloway Marston, una delle due ispiratrici di Wonder Woman (come ho raccontato nel post del 2018, Le origini di Wonder Woman...

"My grandmother was the role model for Wonder Woman" said her granddaughter Christie Marston "She was born in 1893 & instead of doing the more common things associated with women in that day & age, she went on to get 3 degrees and happily marched her way through her 100ys proving that gender roles were...just plain silly! Always positive, moving forward, never letting obstacles decide her life for her... Gram would approve wholeheartedly w/ Wonder Woman getting out there & inspiring new generations" https://www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie-news/wonder-woman-my-grandmother-inspired-dc-superhero-1009032/

Lucy Foulkes e Jack Andrews propongono un'ipotesi critica sull'incremento delle problematiche di salute mentale che vengono riportate. È qualcosa di più complesso che difatti si è osservato in questi ultimi anni, prestandovi attenzione.
Si tratta di un'ipotesi e deve quindi essere sottoposta a verifica empirica ma serve come avvertimento per le campagne di sensibilizzazione sulla salute mentale: non tutte sono orientate a migliorare la consapevolezza anzi alcune posso essere dannose. Soprattutto chi si occupa di salute mentale dovrebbe usare molta cautela nella comunicazione (se ha scopi autentici di sensibilizzazione).
Si possono così instaurare due meccanismi, uno di incremento effettivo nel riconoscimento di problematiche di salute mentale precedentemente non identificate né riportate, l'altro di sovraintepretazione che porta a patologizzare e medicalizzare esperienze psicologiche sane (come ad esempio la tristezza, le preoccupazioni fondate verso il futuro). Questo secondo meccanismo è pericoloso perché in alcuni casi può condurre alla profezia che si autoavvera: interpretare i vissuti psicologici comuni come patologici condiziona la percezione di sé facendo aumentare distress e sintomi.

"efforts to raise awareness about mental health problems are inadvertently leading to an increase in reported rates of mental health problems. We propose that this occurs via two mechanisms, which we term improved recognition and overinterpretation. Improved recognition describes how awareness efforts have led some individuals to better recognise and report their previously under-reported mental health problems. In contrast, overinterpretation is problematic, and describes how awareness efforts have led some individuals to overpathologise common psychological experiences. In some cases, this has become a self-fulfilling prophecy: interpreting difficulties as a mental health problem can lead to changes in self-concept and behaviour that ultimately exacerbate symptoms and distress."

"What I want to see is for me and the roughly 6,000 other non-tenure-track faculty — teachers and researchers across Harvard — for us to have a seat at the table and a voice in the decisions that get made that impact those working conditions,” said Thomas A. Dichter ’08, lecturer in History and Literature."

Johnny Matson, "An autism researcher lost two dozen papers to retraction in January, eight years after the publisher was made aware of potentially troubling editorial practices. Elsevier, the publisher, cited undisclosed conflicts of interest, duplicated methodology and a “compromised” peer-review process as reasons for the retractions."
