“Excessive” sexual abuse

[–] Nukola@feddit.it 2 points 2 days ago

Look at the DSM nowadays. Psychiatry hasn't changed by a bit. They only consider "mad" those who do not look after pumping the LSC system. Unironically, those who do drugs, do crimes and look only for money are considered "sane" in nowadays society.

[–] Kintarian@lemmy.world 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Wow, I have at least 20 of these

And they’re coming to take me away haha hehe hoho

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

To the funny farm where life is grand.

[–] echodot@feddit.uk 3 points 2 days ago

Politics, yep, checks out.

[–] Monument@piefed.world 13 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) (1 children)

Suppression of masturbation and excessive masturbation implies they consider some level of masturbation to be not just acceptable, but required.

Suspending disbelief: How do they know?!? — both in terms of the correct level set, and what the masturbater is doing in terms of frequency.

[–] Chaotic_Altruist@lemmy.zip 7 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Even if you got the right frequency and duration (better not be "masturbation for 30 years), you can still get admitted for "deranged masturbation" or just "masturbation and syphilis"

Also "excessive sexual abuse"... Cause y'know there's a healthy amount

[–] boonhet@sopuli.xyz 1 points 2 days ago

Or masturbation and tobacco

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 24 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago) (2 children)

This… doesn’t look real. That’s not language they’d use in that notably broad time frame

Edit: this appears to be one of those “asylums turned haunted house” places. I’d be willing to bet this is a modern document they use for marketing

[–] preussischblau@lemmy.ca 11 points 4 days ago

"Parents were cousins" yeah that's barely notable in modern West Virginia let alone in that time period.

Also, the Salvation Army only entered WV in 1883, seems to be cutting it a bit close to be notable enough to make it onto that list.

[–] Mickey7@lemmy.world 2 points 3 days ago (2 children)

Did you notice the date on it?

[–] jeffw@lemmy.world 1 points 2 days ago

No. Where is there a date of publication?

[–] Monument@piefed.world 5 points 3 days ago

No.

Legally distinct from "woman troubles"

Women. Am I right?

[–] HK65@sopuli.xyz 15 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Overstudy of religion.

Lol. You have to study it just enough to get hooked, but not enough to notice the inconsistencies.

I think this is their reference to a specific manifestation of OCD known as Scrupulosity, where the individual in question is obsessed with piety to the point where it becomes detrimental to their ability to function.

[–] Bebopalouie@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 days ago

Basically everything under the sun.

[–] SendMePhotos@lemmy.world 16 points 4 days ago (2 children)

Wait what's the difference between female disease, women trouble, and imaginary women trouble? I'm not sure which box to tick.

[–] Stern@lemmy.world 8 points 3 days ago

women trouble is no gf, imaginary women trouble is when your hatsune miku tulpa dumps you

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 4 points 4 days ago

Are you certain it's not Hysteria or Uterine Derangement?

[–] compuglobalhypermeganet@lemmy.dbzer0.com 5 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Holy shit -there is a lot to unpack here!

[–] umbraroze@slrpnk.net 8 points 3 days ago

The War

Yes, The War is making us all very anxious and we hear nothing but horrible news about it all day long. Please stop The War. That's the only way we can ever be happy again.

Excessive Sexual Abuse

normal amount of s.a. is fine, just don't be excessive with being abused. or abusing? it's unclear

[–] Phil_in_here@lemmy.ca 2 points 3 days ago

I see "Uterine Derrangement" "Woman Troubles" and "Female Disease", so yeah, I assume there's a level of sexual abuse they deemed acceptable.

[–] ignotum@lemmy.world 6 points 3 days ago (1 children)

The Bible says you can beat slaves as much as you want as long as they dont immediately die or lose body parts,
I guess they used rules similar to that, if it's in the good book it must be good

[–] Madison420@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

You can beat your spouse with a rod so long as the rod is no thicker than your thumb and no longer than your forearm.

[–] Corporal_Punishment@feddit.uk 9 points 4 days ago

Politics and deranged masturbation....

Well that's everyone here I guess

[–] don_kiedyck@lemmy.world 7 points 4 days ago

I’d like to sign up for Masturbation for 30 Years, please.

We didn’t have cool electives like these when I was in high school.

[–] OwOarchist@pawb.social 7 points 4 days ago

If only we could throw people into asylums for 'Greediness', the world would be a much better place.

Also ... Fell From Horse In War? So, what? Falling from a horse outside of a war isn't good enough? Is it really that different, psychologically speaking, whether your equestrian accident happened during war or not?

didn't know there were trans asylums back then

[–] mechoman444@lemmy.world 3 points 3 days ago

Shoot. I was doing some deranged masturbation while reading this.
