Janice Fiamengo: Victim Mentality Disorder

Women on Social Media

DR. FIAMENGO IS A RETIRED PROFESSOR OF ENGLISH, NOT A MEDICAL DOCTOR. VICTIM MENTALITY DISORDER IS A SET OF WIDELY ACCEPTED, LEARNED PATTERNS, NOT A MEDICAL DIAGNOSIS.  IF YOU BELIEVE YOU ARE VICTIMIZED BY SOCIETY BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF YOUR SKIN OR YOUR GENITALS, PLEASE SEEK IMMEDIATE MEDICAL ADVICE.

Each of Dr. Janice Fiamengo’s videos that I’ve referenced in my series directly relate to her field of expertise, English Literature.  

Dr. Fiamengo has read and analyzed the foundational literature of each major wave of feminism. She was once a believer and adherent to this ideology.

Dr. Fiamengo is not a medical doctor, nor is she a trained clinical psychologist. She is, however an expert on feminist literature and the feminist industry.

In this video she uses her knowledge and expertise to make a sophisticated lay comparison between the dogma of feminism and Victim Mentality Disorder, which is not a medical diagnosis but a well understood pattern of behavior often recognized by medical experts as a technique used for secondary gain.

Dr. Fiamengo suggests feminist training:

  1. Targets Women and girls predisposed to Victim Mentality and other mental illnesses. 
  2. Seems custom-designed to spread this learned set of often debilitating behaviors.

Her direct claim: “Modern feminism is a social movement that attracts adherents who are vulnerable to or already possess certain severe emotional problems.” This may be of interest to many of my readers, notably psychology researchers and attorneys. 

This article is not meant to be an exhaustive treatise on feminist theory, nor is it meant to convey more than a superficial lay understanding of Victim Mentality Disorder.  

Dr. Fiamengo’s arguments have a legitimate basis for concern based on some empirical psychological literature.  

Recent studies have found that Progressive women are significantly likely to have been recently diagnosed by a medical professional with a mental illness. Victim signaling has been correlated to Dark Triad Personality disorders and to long term workplace difficulties.

Social media may operate as a feedback loop of Asch Conformity with others trained into this custom pathology of learned behavior. This could lead to large-scale mental illness, destruction, and legal liabilities for institutions. 

Some of my readers are, in fact, trained psychologists interested in my analysis and past predictions. I’d like to reach them in hopes of triggering a deeper, professional, psychological analysis of this comparison.

Empirical data supporting Dr. Fiamengo’s claims may save universities from legal liabilities through effective screening for this predisposition before allowing students to enroll in these classes. 

If effects are large enough, universities may reconsider funding to prevent these potential massive legal liabilities.

If university departments were found to be knowingly exposing students to psychological harm, the legal liabilities could potentially destroy entire institutions, and eviscerate trusts and foundations.

Some of my readers are attorneys at law, concerned with a large interest group with disproportionate impact on policy and potential harm to students. Most of them like money and hate bull shit.

Some of my readers are unwoke Minnesotans aware that there is something fundamentally wrong here.

It’s worth noting two of the most significant feminist legal and political scholars and activists are from Minnesota.

Kate Millett, architect of Marxist Feminism, was born in St. Paul, MN. Her book Sexual Politics contains Patriarchy Theory, Male Privilege and Gender as a Social Construct. Her work heavily influenced the Duluth Model of Power and Control and became foundational to modern feminist theory.

Catharine MacKinnon born in Minneapolis, MN, has written over a dozen books, including one of the most widely cited books in the English Language, according to Britannica, and Toward a Feminist Theory of the State (1989). Her work launched the Sexual Harrassment industry and with the help of visiting University of MN professor Andrea Dworkin, unleashed the Dworkin MacKinnon Anti Pornography Ordinance on the English Speaking world. 

Like many bills and policies from MN feminists, they receive widespread support from conservative groups.

These two Women, from wealthy, powerful, well-connected families, grew up in amazing neighborhoods, attended and lectured at the most prestigious, elite universities, all on the collective victimhood of their female students.  

Each trained professors and academics to spread this Victim Mentality Script, if Dr. Fiamengo’s analysis is correct. 

This article is not an exhaustive background on the impacts of these women’s political policy or the legal landscape. It may explain a brief explanation of why Minnesota’s policies are so pathological.

The impacts these women may have made on the minds of millions of women and sneakyfuckers can not be overstated.

If there were unintended consequences or iatrogenic effects from a widespread, “viral learned psychosis” among the elite educated classes, you would see it’s effects first in Minnesota.

Victim Mentality Disorder 

This is an overview for lay persons not familiar with Victim Mentality Disorder. This is not a diagnostic tool and should not be treated as such. Parentheses illustrate feminist theory.

VMD is generally characterized by perceptions of victimhood, moral elitism, a lack of empathy and rumination.  A victim mentality may manifest itself in a range of different behaviors or ways of thinking and talking:

  • Blaming others for an undesired situation. (Patriarchy)
  • Exhibiting hypervigilance of victimhood in the presence of others or on social media. (Victim Signaling)
  • Imagining negative intentions of other people. (Systemic Oppression)
  • Believing that other people are generally more fortunate. (Male Privilege)
  • Gaining relief from feeling pity for oneself or receiving sympathy from others. (Female Oppression)
  • Categorizing: Dividing people into good | bad with no gray zone between.(Oppressors | Oppressed)
  • Lack of awareness/curiosity about the root of actual powerlessness in a situation (Female Oppression)
  • Likely to display entitlement and selfishness while signaling altruism (Virtue Signaling)
  • Defensive: In conversation, reading a negative intention into a neutral question and reacting with a corresponding accusation, hindering the collective solution of problems by recognizing the inherent conflict. (Feminist Praxis in a nutshell)
  • Exhibiting learned helplessness: underestimating one’s ability or influence in a given situation; feeling powerless. Exaggerating one’s own victimhood.
  • Denying a personal responsibility for one’s own life or circumstances. 

Many sufferers develop convincing and sophisticated explanations in support of their victimhood, which they use to explain to themselves and others of their situation. This often results in attitudes of pessimism, self-pity and repressed anger.  

Dr. Fiamengo, an expert on the topic of Academic Feminism suggests this set of learned behaviors may be endemic to the entire enterprise.
