It's possible that "narcissism" is fictional, and the term so loosely scattered about each day conveys nothing. It's possible that selfish misbehaviour is just selfish misbehaviour.

Applying the term "narcissist" to an individual does nothing to make that individual's behaviour better. Indeed, it risks characterising an unfortunate event or interlude as a lifelong affliction, actively making the problem worse. One of the greatest advantages of human- ness is our capacity to change. We aren't helped by linguistic straight- jackets.

In the absence of any benefit whatever in the use of such psycho babble terms, I can't help feeling that these should be avoided.

The feminist grievance industry is a social and political problem of gigantic proportions. I prefer that we deal with it as such, and avoid going down the Fraudean rabbit hole.
