Jodi speaks out for men who keep their emotions bottled up instead of expressing them
“It’s hard being a woman, obviously, and it’s hard being a man too. Imagine how difficult it must be to suppress your emotions. I have empathy for men because when I ask a man how he’s doing, compared to women, they often say ‘I don’t know’ and never really open up because they feel like they’re not allowed to.”
Can we NOT normalize women having a bad attitude toward their man? I always see TikTok videos captioned with "I'm a woman, so I'm automatically right" and "a real man handles your attitude." Like, no girl, communicate properly, don't play the victim, and don't turn every argument against your man. They feel things as you do, even if they don't talk about it.
Basically, it's pushing back on the idea that women's emotions get a free pass while men are expected to just 'deal with it.'
“Men get raped too, you dumb bitch.”
Yes. Yes they do.
Men get raped too, and their pain is real. Their trauma matters. Their voices deserve to be heard, believed, and protected. They deserve support without shame, without mockery, and without being told to “man up” or stay silent. Survivors are survivors, regardless of gender.
So if you care so much, are you actually standing up for them? Are you holding their rapists accountable? Are you reminding men that what they wore, what they drank, how old they were, or whether they froze in fear was never the cause of their assault? Are you telling them that rape happens for one reason only: because a rapist chose to rape?
Or do men’s experiences only matter to you when you can weaponize them against women?
Because real advocacy doesn’t show up only when women are speaking about violence. Real advocacy means fighting for all survivors, even when it doesn’t serve your argument. It means creating space for male survivors to speak without turning their trauma into a debate tactic. It means caring about justice more than scoring points.
If the only time you mention male victims is to silence women, then you are not defending men. You are exploiting their trauma to dismiss someone else’s pain.
Male survivors deserve better than that.
And women do too.
