@baddepptakes It doesn't hurt DV Survivors. Many of us are very proud of her and support her. 💜 What does hurt all of us (whether they see it yet or not) is the misogynistic comments and silencing of a victim. We never see men guilty of exploiting droves of women being treated this way.
Another precious life taken by the Islamic Republic. 16-year-old #SarinaEsmaeilzadeh was bludgeoned to death as a result of baton blows to her head by security forces. When will this regime be brought to justice for its mass atrocities?

Former NFL player Michael Antwon Bennett has kidnapped his daughter Kaia Rose from her mother Katie Salzano. Please help this mother who is in despair & doesn’t even know whether her daughter is alive get her daughter back home in safety. #bringkaiahome
@DrProudman I think the same about men and women with age, hair loss & weight... Why okay for one and not the other? It's just as common for both, so why the bias? Just too much emphasis on women's physical appearance.
@MyClickInTime@robertaloug@DrProudman There is an unequal expectation that women will make the sacrifices, while men are not expected to make any. Women's rights have been stolen by society and now by law.
@MyClickInTime@robertaloug@DrProudman Custodial parent takes the greater financial responsibility, typically mom. Child support does not nearly cover the actual cost of a child nor child care. Unmarried women may receive less per state law. States rarely increase due to already existing backlog and related issues.
@BrattyBag@DrProudman If you think she had a better chance of winning than he did, you do not understand the dynamics of misogyny in a patriarchal society, court bias towards power or domestic abuse & violence.
What DOES cause domestic abuse: an abuser's belief in rigid gender roles for men & women, an abuser's high sense of entitlement, an abuser's contempt for their partner, an abuser's belief they are superior & above the rules, an abuser's refusal to be held accountable...
@DrJessTaylor@dasgsurvivors Educating one woman will help her identify abuse... but educating society to understand abuse vocabulary and dynamics, will give her voice a chance when she finally speaks out.
this is why i don't trust juries to be rational and concentrate on facts, especially when it's a celebrity trial. bob from down the street's reasoning boiled down to 'haha woman unstable 🤣🤪' meanwhile the UK judge gave 129 pages of information on how he reached his result.
@PhilMitchell83 While I'm glad men can speak out & overcome patriarchal stereotypes of weakness, it is wrong to use a misogynistic, violent addict to support the cause at the expense of women, still marginalized by society. Women are still not believed & are more silenced than ever.
@DeeDeeEHughes Right? She supports efforts for LGBTQ/DV Survivors, using her own pain/struggles to help others. Meanwhile, JD is dripping misogyny, addiction, has extensive history of control/violence/police issues & has yet another trial for physically assaulting a 19 yo hotel employee! 🙄
@JosephsonAdam1 @Kendra288Law @DrProudman Patriarchy is detrimental to men and women differently in terms of abuse. Women - abuse is epidemic due to male societal privilege - much is allowed & women not believed. Men - more isolated IPV cases & coming out can be seen as "weak", but when they do, they are often believed.
@BergmanHenry@virginiafenice @Eliza_Justice_ Experts say that not all addicts are domestics abusers. However, domestic abusers are less inhibited in abusing when intoxicated. It also gives them the addiction to blame. Never taking responsibility of the abuse itself.
@Kendra288Law @JosephsonAdam1 @DrProudman Patriarchy plays a role 1) men are encouraged/entitled to control & display aggressive behavior 2) degradation of feminity is prevalent in society, culture & media 3) victims are discredited because society accepts such behavior from men and sees reports as threat to status quo.
@NatillyWelshie @DrProudman I think the only thing that hurts society are the secrets not told. I've thought the same about not writing, but I will likely write anonymous explaining that I am not ashamed, but choose to avert a defamation lawsuit. Sad it's come to this.
@JosephsonAdam1 @Kendra288Law @DrProudman Children are also marginalized. IMO high school and college boys are still children. I do not think this reflects man/woman adult relationships, but it is a sad eye opener, especially in the day of human trafficking. Abusers often abuse. It's an epidemic at this point.
