I don't know why I don't like this phrase and I must admit that I have not read much about it yet. I wondered if anyone on this board had any views on it that they could share with me?
I wonder if the phrase is sexist? Does it perpetuate the victimhood of women or is it a sufficiently strong enough syndrome to stand as is?
To put this in context, I sat in on a presentation recently and one of the participants referred to Battered Woman Syndrome and it seemed to jar with me and felt out of touch and old fashioned.
I would appreciate hearing people's thoughts on this.
