This. Totally agree with you on the "female disorder" idea. I know that they say it's more common with women but they've found that it's not true. Thing is most women are more willing to get help and are discovered as BPD than men whereas many men just quietly suffer and are probably the ones that end up in jail. I tell people I am BPD and they just look confused like i have three heads.
