  • i get your point. I think its possible i overestimated psychology’s bigotry for the same reason as it may be having to owe up the most. bigotted direct relations with the field as a patient, seeing the bigotry in research and funding issues via close people (well atleast here in pakistan). but i do lack that knowledge and experience with other science fields so this could be biased take

    yea no, even in the late 1800s there were movements and knowledge that racism, misogyny, etc are bad. i dont buy the excuse that people back then were just a product of their time. i think thats a retro-spective way of looking at the past, seeing how things are ‘better’ today must mean they sucked back then and everyone accepted it as is. Freud had access to the information that bigotry is wrong, he did it anyways. that needs to be acknowledged
