It's a usa thing. Their psychiatric wards apparently also provide like actual therapy and psychiatric help too, from what I've read.

I don't know what it's like elsewhere but in the UK, psychiatric wards are filthy, underfunded holding pens run by the dregs of the nhs. And you get no help, just held till they arbitrarily decide if you're 'safe to be released' or not. You don't get socks here, you get ptsd.

What is the feminine equivalent of emasculation and what are common triggers?

Emasculation happens when 'feminine behaviour' in men removes pervieved power and agency and makes them feel degraded. Bare in mind, weakness is considered a feminine behaviour.

What removes power and agency from women is not us displaying masculinity, it's having our gender and sex used against us and/or against our will.

So being percieved as overly emotional/unstable, sexually promiscuous, not capable of intelligence or leadership, etc. and being raped and physically manhandled.

That is what is degrading to women.

Improvise. Adapt. Overcome.

I mean at it's most basic, tarot is essentially just a random number generator for creating a story.

Ordinary playing cards can and historically have been used for 'divination' like this, so there's no reason Uno cards couldn't, you just have to assign a narrative element to each card.

If I wasn't in so much pain right now (endo), this would be a really fun to dive into. I might jot this down actually, it could be my October project.

If you have autism too, your life expectancy is hugely lowered, under 50 i think. Heart disease and suicide are the main ways we die.
