I guess I'm just writing this cause I feel like I need support. I have nowhere else to turn. I commented on a tweet that blamed men for all the misogyny, violence against women etc. And I basically said most men don't believe in those things. I got bombarded, still am. I tried to explain that men are more likely to be victims of violent crime and when they said, "yeah, it's the men that are doing it!" I tried to explain that this argument is the same they used to (or still do) say about visible minorities (as they are also, like men, more likely to perpetrate violent crime and also be victims of it.

I support equality. I acknowledge that there need to be some changes in our culture. I think the statistics of women facing sexual violence are devastating. For the most part, I'm on their side, but that's not enough, I was still demonized.

I have mental health issues and I was also psycho/sexually harassed in the workplace about 30 months ago. I'm still on sick leave for it. Their misandry and willingness to just demonize men hurts me because I know how that translates when it comes to what happened to me at work and how sympathetic/understanding/tolerant people are of my mental health issues as a man.

I'm just tired of it. I know it's not this bad in the real world. Twitter is for extremists mostly, there is little room for nuance. But between my mental health issues and Covid, I'm pretty isolated. Just need to find my sanity again
