Should accusations of gaslighting be treated as accusations of lying?

My issue is that when I bring up an easily observable dynamic, I get blanket denials and accusations that it’s all right-wing propaganda. It feels unpleasantly like being gaslit. Criticising it as too broad a brush, rather than denying it entirely, would be a much more constructive start to the conversation.

She did not actually accuse you of gaslighting. If she did, it would be something to be moderated.
