Trans-erasure. Why? Like, really, why? Not only did the erasure (sometimes even blatant denial) of trans experiences weaken her argument, but more importantly, it was unethical, angering, and very unfeminist. Was really close to giving it 1* just for this. In 2020, Taylor self-published her thesis as a book titled Why Women are Blamed for Everything. Based on three years of doctoral research and 10 years of practice with women and girls, the book focuses on the reasons why society and individual psychology blames women for male violence committed against them. [14] It draws on the psychometric measure Taylor developed during her doctoral research–called the BOWSVA scale–which measures the way the general public and professionals apportion blame to women and girls who have been subjected to sexual violence. The book also includes interviews with women who have been blamed for sexual assaults and professionals working in sexual violence services who are attempting to deconstruct victim blaming. [14]

My Book Notes

Women are not responsible for being victims of sexual assault, rape or domestic violence. They do not need to learn how to not date shit men. Men need to not be shit. Taylor began volunteering with domestic violence victims before deciding to earn her Bachelor of Science Hons degree in psychology from the Open University. [4] Upon receiving her degree, Taylor co-founded The Eaton Foundation, a Male Mental Health and Wellbeing Centre in the UK, with Alex Eaton. [5] She eventually quit her job and founded VictimFocus, which she describes as "a company designed to challenge and change the victim blaming practices in social care, policing, mental health and support services all over the world." [6] In 2017 and 2018, she was shortlisted for the Emma Humphreys Memorial Prize. [7] [8]

Aside from the case studies and contributors stories, one of the more disturbing elements (for me) was recognition of how easy it is to slip into pathologisation, victim-blaming and self-blaming of and by ourselves, unintentionally and unnoticed, because we’re so indoctrinated and conditioned to accept the medical model of psychiatry.

Class, race, sexuality, gender, socio-cultural norms etc etc - not *just* "being a cis woman" - are just some of the issues that contribute to our mental health crisis. Whether it is women reporting cancer symptoms or raising concerns about botched vaginal mesh surgery that has caused them serious health complications, research shows that they are still much more likely to be ignored, minimised or diagnosed with mental health issues. Partially, this will be due to medicine and much of science being based on men and male bodies, with women and female bodies still being seen as too complicated and too much of a variable to be included in medical trials.
