Can confirm I used to play sacred victim, and it was the result of and fed simultaneously my mental illness. I appreciate you connecting victimhood to narcissism, because the position of certain kinds of women, specifically, is predicated on playing the victim and acquiring social clout. The social clout is then used to create hierarchies among already relatively privileged PMC women and bully others from this position of ostensible disempowerment. But in reality of course, the power dynamic is flipped, and so I could never critique the behavior of these sacred victims. If I did, bullies would come. All I kept hearing is how tired they are from explaining their subjectivity to people oppressing them, not of course seeing that everyone is forced to cater to their feelings. I appreciate this greatly as it’s influenced my thinking.

Thank you for sharing your reflections about your past self Radha. The privileged among the oppressed class crying oppression is laughable.
