“The fascist idea that women are biologically inferior and mentally abnormal persists. Psychiatry identifies the female brain as defective and capitalist drug companies sell the cure to women structurally entrenched misogyny is clearly the leading cause of women’s global misery. However, patriarchal capitalism does not care about the suffering of women. The intense and prolonged – and all too silenced – suffering of women is of interest to the system only insofar as it can extract profit from women’s misery. Patriarchy is not interested in depressed women; it is only interested in controlling depressed women. And psychotropic drugs achieve this by damaging women’s brains.” — Abigail Bray
