In the class many students talk about the unique victimization of their religion, their gender identity, their skin colour, their hair or their body size. I can think of examples from each where people do not experience feeling a victim. I think it useful to point out because there isn’t only one way to understand reality but the vibe of the class and by extension most of academia is bow down to a mantra everyone is hurt and needs therapy. I don’t necessarily disagree but suggesting the healing might lie outside of oneself triggers anger as if you don’t care about anyone’s feelings. How exactly does that saying work where you could catch a fish for someone and their good for that evening or you could actually try teaching them how to fish and rely on themselves. Either way I get a song out of it.
