They call it their "healing journey" but it's the ultimate sociological irony that the therapeutic-feminism complex cannot see: In diagnosing narcissism everywhere, in pathologizing masculine psychology, in creating unfalsifiable frameworks of abuse —they have created the largest collective of narcissism in human history. In Ovid’s Metamorphoses, Echo was cursed by Juno to only repeat the words of others—she could no longer speak for herself, only reflect back what she heard. When she encountered Narcissus and tried to express her love, all she could do was repeat his final words back to him. He rejected her. She faded into nothing but endless repetition. The bitter irony of contemporary therapeutic culture is this: Women have become Echo while convinced they’re diagnosing Narcissus. They’ve lost their authentic voices, speaking only in the language of trauma frameworks, clinical pathology, and therapeutic scripts—endlessly repeating “narcissist,” “gaslighting,” “boundaries,” while staring at their own reflection in the pool, not able to see that they’ve become what they claim to diagnose.
