In class we were assigned to make a presentation and study domestic violence. We were shown many videos and such about the subject. That’s great and all… but it was blatantly sexist. It only addressed female victims despite the class being gender neutral, and made it seem as if it was only a male on female crime, also while completely skipping over the fact that lesbian relationships have the highest DV rates. After that, the teacher told all the girls not to date or have crushes on boys because they only were looking for a chance to hurt them. Not a single instance of female on male DV was shown.

I was practically seething through the entire thing but didn’t say anything. The presentations my classmates provided were all about female victims and male perpetrators too, and about how somehow the default male mindset was functioned to want to hurt women.

I hate this school system and I hate this world. I’m fucking tired of this.
