For Psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster, Humility Might Be a Worse Sin Than Pride
Psychoanalyst Jamieson Webster reflects on the sin of pride in a personal essay for Cultured magazine's "Indulgence" issue, part of a series where seven figures examine how one of the seven deadly sins threads through their life and work. Webster explores pride as a complex, gendered experience—distinguishing women's pride from male ambition and describing it as a refusal to yield rather than self-exaltation, while also distrusting humility as a covert demand for women to remain accommodating.
