That seems like anything but enlightenment, when you doubt your decision making and let critiques from the perfect-parenting brigade(anything but) seep into your consciousness. Strong people don’t allow that in my theoretical
did you read bobman’s treatise up-thread?

So Mrs. Columbo just happens to also be psychotic and just imagines she has a husband? They make quite a pair.
When I took psych 101, I never imagined I’d still be working on getting out of the green some 40 fucking years later.

You’re not wrong, but I don’t think that sort of judgment cuts to the core of the judged at the same level as being judged as a mother. In our society, it is expected of mothers that it is their highest calling, and any shortcoming is considered a deep personal failing. That’s not quite the same thing as having achieved ill-gotten gains by way of good looks instead of merit. Yes, I expect plenty of women who are both meritorious and attractive have that complex, and understandably so, but I still think being a mother takes the complex to a whole new level.

I think that’s true. If a woman abandons her child she gets far more flak than if a man does the same thing. The standards expected for women as mothers is so much higher than for men as fathers.

Maybe, but if your theoretical is only theoretical, is it really the model of mental health? I have yet to meet a person who is both sophisticated and impervious to the perception of others. We can perhaps wax poetic about how great it would be to be so, but I am unconvinced it is attainable. I would argue instead that mindfulness, along the lines of "I am aware of my feelings of feeling judged, and those feelings are negative. There are things I could have done better (x, y, and z), but on balance, I have achieved well, notably (a, b, and c). "

Agreed, and that judgment goes all the way down to little things to where the judgments even stop being mutually negative. Like, a woman with her kids at the grocery store is unnoticeable, but a man with his kids is a praiseworthy father. A man with his kid at the doctor’s office is a great dad, but where’s mom?

Mrs. Columbo never appears on stage and has no lines. It’s like she doesn’t exist at all! PS: no chance any wife lets him walk around in a raincoat looking like a bum.

I have an extreme problem with the yellow on that pyramid. I know this will surprise you that I hate most people and the feeling is mutual.
