Another stereotype. men are criminalized and women are made to feel weak and dependent. I hate it. How many times do I have to tell ppl that bpd is not a "women's disease"?!

I'm only going to respond to this thread one more time do to it really starting to get to me. It is statistically proven that the majority of men with BPD end up in jail/prison and that women have the majority receiving treatment. This is not a stereotype it is pure numbers. If you don't believe me then look it up, or even look at the fact that McLean Hospital in Mass. has a residential treatment for women but not men.
