One of my co-workers shared this really good article with me today. I wanted to share this because I think a lot of it is true. Although I don't like the term "gaslighting" (it's just kind of weird and I wouldn't want to use it) to describe emotional manipulation. I think that what it describes is true. It's like a sneeky tactic of Satan to undermine ourselves and others, and I know I have been a major culprit of this in the past. (Especially with my sisters. I'm sorry for how I've done this so many times to you Sian and Emma. I love you!)
Anyway, this article is really interesting. It's written by a man and...it's almost hard to let this concept sink in because in many ways, it feels so ingrained. But I think it's truth. And I'm glad to read it. He wrote that
"When I was writing this piece, I was reminded of one of my favorite Gloria Steinem quotes, 'The first problem for all of us, men and women, is not to learn, but to unlearn.'”
Here's the link.
