“Psycho.”

Every single day, men bitch about women, and women bitch about women.

Hate seems like such an easy emotion to both genders.

But there is one word that men use to describe women, a word that is over used, misused and abused and I’ve honestly had enough of it.

I’ve got news for you guys: most women who you call psycho are not in fact psycho. Please educate yourself on the difference.

Psycho Vs Not Psycho.

If she boils your puppy, she’s psycho. If she yells at you for not calling, she’s angry.

If she poisons your coffee, she’s psycho.

If she keeps texting you cuz you haven’t replied, she’s perhaps only needy.

If she sets your house and your family on fire, she’s psycho.

If she argues with you, she’s just heartbroken.

It seems men label a woman psycho if she exhibits any type of behavior he doesn’t care for.

Don’t revert to a default word when she’s simply expressing an emotion.

Why do men so easily call a woman psycho?

I wish I had the power to stop all this hate. I wish I could someway express that THIS IS WRONG.

Nobody deserves to be labeled as “crazy” or “psycho” because it’s not only a derogatory term that insults people actually suffering from mental illnesses, it’s also inhuman.

To me, it sounds like some sort of a societal punishment for women who demand respect or fight back.

And this goes for the ladies as well. There’s just too much blind hate between women. I’ve had enough of that as well.

When women call other women psycho, YOU GIVE US ALL A BAD NAME.

Now listen to me ladies, No man is worth degrading your dignity for, or worth making a joke out of your mental stability.

Mental health is not a joke. Neither is it an insult.

Let’s practice compassion.

Let’s practice kindness.

Like I always say,

More inner stability,

Less self sabotage.
