    In this paper, I explore a number of issues related to a life lived with borderline personality disorder (BPD).

Though none have proposed abandoning obligation outright, there has been a general shift among feminists towards a responsibility paradigm. Responsibility models acknowledge given relationships and interdependence, and so posit responsibilities as given, regardless of whether they are voluntary.
