If we all claim that abuse is due to narcissism, it can erase male perpetrated violence against women and children.
The term narcissist was defined accurately as a rare personality disorder of self love.
This was then conflated with a non-binary view, as in NPD is a spectrum.
Neither words were used in the interview that took place as a follow up to a woman experiencing abuse from another woman.
This is a growing trend that I've noticed in the media, on forums, and generally in conversarion, similar to the irrelevance of saying but women abuse too as a deflection.
This is also becoming more widespread in womens services.
The Freedom Programme thankfully will not hold with skewing the facts of male perpetrated dv and have had to intervene where any group deliberately alter their materials to skew women's education around gendered abuse.
Its worrying that women survivors are being exposed to this erasure of dv being gendered. I have seen many posters on MN and elsewhere adopt this approach also.
Its part of erasing statistics from what I can see.
There is already substantial underfunding in refuge and related dv services, according to wa recent reports, but if stats are erased there can be no justification for funding for womens protection.
