markv5-translated:markv5:Сердитый котAngry catReema Zaman: “Shaming and silencing our rightful rage is another part of an abuser’s arsenal. They shame and gaslight us into silence and submission, manipulate us into thinking we deserve their cruelty, thereby normalizing their behavior. Consequently, by writing down your thoughts and giving voice to your anger on the page, especially if you’re surrounded by people who continually invalidate and disregard your voice, you’ll begin seeing that you’re indeed intelligent and correct to feel and think the things you do. By bearing witness to your truth on the page, you’ll begin filling with the courage and validation you need to start speaking up for yourself, start owning your power, and taking steps toward leaving that harmful relationship, job, lifestyle, or environment. [Since] women have been conditioned to be highly empathic, nurturing creatures that are forever attuned to the wellbeing of others, women’s rage is always felt in the presence of injustice. It’s not something that should be ashamed of.” —Reema Zaman, “Turning Fury Into Fuel: Three Women Authors on Publishing’s New Investment in Anger”—Reema Zaman [x]—Reema Zaman, interviewed in “Turning Fury Into Fuel: Three Women Authors on Publishing’s New Investment in Anger” -- source link
