Remember Confederate Flag Guy? You should: in the limited media coverage the Million Veteran March during the government shutdown, one man holding a confederate flag magically became “Tea Party protesters” and grabbed nearly all the attention. What, then, to make of rapper Kanye West and his newfound appropriation of the confederate flag?

West has featured the confederate flag on recent tour merchandise.

He’s been photographed draped in the flag.

Today, gossip site X17online.com published yet another photo of West sporting a custom jacket with the flag emblem. So what’s up? Is it true that he’s “reappropriating” the flag and making it his own, as he’s said in interviews? Sites like the Huffington Post have not been amused, writing:

Let’s hope Kanye is attempting to reappropriate the negative meaning behind the flag rather than outfitting thousands of clueless concert-goers in “racist” threads. We can just imagine all the white kids walking around in their “Yeezus” confederate flag shirts ready to refute any backlash with: “Yeezy taught me!”

What does Twitter have to say about it?

On Kanye making the confederate flag "his flag…."

Psychopathology in Women

Gender has a fundamental influence on the human brain, not only by virtue of biological and hormonal differences between the sexes but also because of the impact of gender-specific cultural, social, anthropological and environmental factors. Nevertheless, the relation of gender and psychopathology remains a largely neglected field. Gender perspective has been treated as a paradigm in this book on psychopathology because it determines the way in which a psychiatric symptom is defined, perceived and understood. This conception of gender as being of key importance in the definition of psychiatric symptomatology is exceptional in the literature. The book opens by examining historical and cultural aspects of mental health in women worldwide and the relation of sex, brain and gender, with coverage of both neurobiological and psychosocial aspects. The significance of gender with regard to specific aspects of psychopathology is then addressed in detail. A wide range of psychological disorders are considered, as well as hormonal influences and issues concerning body image, self identity, sexuality and life instinct. It is hoped that this book will make a significant contribution in ensuring that gender perspective receives due attention within descriptive psychopathology.
