"Everyone has a little OCD"
Sadly, my day was ruined this morning. Just had a neurotypical psychology professor today claim that "everyone has a little OCD", then proceed to get down on one knee and tap her finger on a table, mocking and infantilizing individuals with a debilitating mental disorder. She claimed that she was going to "make fun of everyone's OCD" and proceeded to mischaracterize it as about cleaning and hand washing, bringing absolutely little to no attention about the intrusive thoughts. When I confronted her that her rhetoric, she claimed that I was trying to push a liberal agenda on her; she then proceeded to blame me for being triggered and saying that I had a "complex of insecurity". Just using this as a space to vent, but I am baffled about how someone with a PhD in psychology not only proudly shows off their inflammatory bigotry, but proceeds to double down on it when confronted.
