@femtales_ai: Ladies, I have a serious question for you: do you envy the fact that men have a p****s? Because Sigmund Freud had a theory like that, and it was exactly this idea that Karen Horney stood up against. Thanks to this woman, her academic work, and her research, psychology and psychiatry today have a gender-based approach. She was one of the first female psychiatrists and wrote works dedicated exclusively to women’s psychology. In the 1920s, she was among the first to speak openly about female self-realization, gender-imposed stereotypes, and the issues women face in marriage. She openly accused male psychoanalysts of bias, of paying far too much attention to male anatomy, and spoke of “male narcissism.” She also argued that it is more likely men envy women because women can give birth and can find self-realization through motherhood. Horney suggested that the outstanding achievements of men in work or other fields could be seen as a form of compensation for their inability to bear children. In 1946, she published one of the first self-help books, Are You Considering Psychoanalysis? In it, she argued that people — both men and women — with relatively mild neurotic problems could, in many cases, become their own psychiatrists. She consistently emphasized that self-awareness is part of the journey to becoming a better, stronger, and richer person. She also published three major books on neuroses. Her work laid the foundation for modern humanistic psychology, in which self-realization and the uniqueness of each person are considered most important, and her writings are still regarded as classic guides to understanding human nature and personal development. If you are interested in psychology, you will definitely enjoy her ideas. At her funeral, philosopher Paul Tillich said of her: “One of the most influential lives we have known has come to an end. She wrote books, but she loved people. She helped them shed light on the dark corners of their souls.”
