THEY CALLED HER CRAZY… THEN DESTROYED HER LIFE
Description
They used to call women hysterical… and lock them away for it.
In this episode, Christi Chanelle breaks down the disturbing history of how women’s emotions, voices, and autonomy were once medicalized and controlled under the diagnosis of “hysteria”—and why that pattern may not be as far behind us as we think.
From 19th-century asylums to the tragic story of Rosemary Kennedy, this episode exposes how power has historically responded to women it couldn’t control.
Then we fast-forward to today—where terms like Trump Derangement Syndrome are used to dismiss and discredit voices, and where women are still fighting to be heard in medical spaces, especially around menopause and hormonal health.
We also examine the broader implications of Project 2025 and what it could mean for women’s rights, autonomy, and protections moving forward.
This isn’t just history.
It’s a pattern.
And once you see it… you can’t unsee it.
