After studying decades of covert project names and their skewed relation to the actual projects, I suspect that
the real name for this brutal process of trauma/dissociation/desensitization is...a homonym of "Monarch" and does not conjure up that almost romantic caterpillar-to-butterfly transformation image.
Try instead - "Project Menarche."

This jumps the shark on so many levels, it's more like pole vaulting a killer whale. My main worry is that I may never be able to approach this subject again without this line of thought speaking to me in a little voice in the back of my head that sounds like Hugh. Total game changer. Paradigm shift.

Guidelines for Naming Operations
.....
Where an operation poses safety concerns to a foreign population, the operation name should be designed to allay those concerns.
.....
...start by identifying unique attributes of the operation. Try to capture those characteristics in specific terms with a metaphor or with words that evoke an image.

The brain scans on the right show that media violence stunts or "retards" kids' brain development: children with violent TV, movie, and video game exposure had reduced cognitive brain function. Media violence also makes violent brains: violent TV, movie, and video game exposure had an effect on normal kids that made their brain scans the same as children with documented, diagnosed Aggressive Behavior Disorder.
FRIDAY, May 28 (HealthDay News) -- A three-decade analysis of prior research reveals that American college students are not quite as empathetic as they used to be.
"We found the biggest drop in empathy after the year 2000," co-author Sara Konrath, a researcher at the University of Michigan Institute for Social Research, said in a news release. "College kids today are about 40 percent lower in empathy than their counterparts of 20 or 30 years ago, as measured by standard tests of this personality trait."
Konrath and her colleagues presented their findings this week in Boston at the annual meeting of the Association for Psychological Science.
A total of 72 studies conducted between 1979 and 2009 were included in the current review.
The analysis indicated that relative to their late-1970s' counterparts, today's college students are less likely to make an effort to understand their friends' perspectives or to feel tenderness or concern for the less fortunate.
