Trainwreck

"Not only is shame not helpful in treating mental illness or addiction, it also fails to justify its apparent raison d'être in the trainwreck narrative. It doesn't help instill "good values"; instead, it creates a world in which women are afraid of themselves – where every girl lives like the lead in a werewolf movie, constantly monitoring herself for signs that she's turning into a wild animal. Women with serious illnesses are being taught to hate themselves by the ongoing public display of madwomen, but so are women who are merely unhappy, or having a bad day. Female emotion itself is being portrayed as a destructive force that must be tamped down, contained, and (if at all possible) totally denied, because if it ever breaks through and becomes visible, that woman will become dirty, shameful, and disgusting."
