Plot

There are many ways in which to place severe post traumatic dissociation in context, but the most basic way is to look hard at the historical, political, economic, social and cultural contexts in which the inequities of capitalist patriarchy are constructed and secured. We live in a society which is structured so that everyone has at least one - and usually more than one - individual to blame for the abuses of power that are so keenly felt and seldom clearly seen within a system developed to benefit the priviledged few. The phenomenom of widespread physical, emotional and sexual abuse of children is institutionalized patriarchy laid bare. It is one of the basic power differentials and then masking them so they seem like an individual's personal problem.
