I have been had great social anxiety because of women objectifying themselves in society. I hate it especially now because I have a boyfreind, and I don't like him enjoying what I hate so much. I recently have gotten on the pill and it has made me more emotional about what I was already emotional and passionate about (being angry at society for accepting the objectification of women as normal, and women for objectifying themselves both in the media and real life). And he is upset, because instead of my phsychologist thinking that I had a problem, by getting upset about this to the point where I want to avoid society, she said that I was just very passionate about something, and that's a good thing. Now my boyfreind is upset and thinks that my session made the problem worse, by me being more confident about my view point. I have had problems going out in public because I don't like to be exposed to it. I have had emotional breakdowns in public because of it. I think what she has said

makes me feel more confident in how I feel, and that it is not wrong. I think I can still have these passionate feelings and be strong in public now, by fighting for the cause instead of letting it consume me, that is what I hope at least. But my boyfriend thinks that I will just keep having these emotional breakdowns, and thinks that I now will feel more justified to do it. He wants my passion to end, so that way we can live a normal life. I don't want it to end. Suggestions?

He is also seeing a psychologist, and is baffeled that my psychologist thinks nothing is wrong with me, because he told his psychologist about me, and she said that I needed to come in as soon as possible, like something was deathly wrong. What do you have to say about this situation?

my boyfriend hates feminists, and now he is going to discredit anything my psychologist says, because she agrees with me

Your boyfriend does not respect you and is attempting to control and demean you by mocking your feelings. What worries me is why you would be with a man like that if you are really passionate about the objectification of women. You should leave him; he's unhealthy for you.

Women objectifying themselves in public gets you emotionally upset? WOW. There is nothing you can do about it so get over it. Headcases like you are the reason psychologist even exist in the first place.
If you want to be passionate about something why not puppies? Its would be more productive.

Good lord...look....have your opinion...be passionate about your opinion...but when it disrupts your life...you do need to speak to someone on how to handle your emotions....it doesn't mean you must change your opinion of society...just learn to have your opinion and learn how to calm the 'passionate side-effects'....I see it like this....some people are emotionally wired differently.....and because they do not match the 'programming' of how society expects us to be....they seem to short-circuit and appear defective.....you are not defective....you just need to find a therapist who can help you find a 'program' that helps you function on a level that is more comfortable for you....maybe by learning a bit of acceptance of things you cannot change will be a start....good luck...

I think that it serves him right that you got that response from therapy.
Obviously he likes something about you because you are together.
Men are conditioned to behave like primates w/ certain things.
Part of him is very likely happy that you are not a bimbo.
Try and think of of that subject gracefully, and like everything else keep your passion balanced so that you can keep Harmony w/ him without sacrificing your values. Think Yin / Yang.
Peace! Try going to events w/ cool people, they do exist
