Saw a comment by some misandrist idiot earlier on Twitter/X who posted this and it got my blood boiling. I get nothing intelligent is to be expected from there, but it's so tiresome and infuriating to constantly see the fact men and boys are also victims of violence by women in high numbers (as well as other men), just like women are of men. Yet when we bring this up these clowns always deflect with their usual diatribe. "But not on the same scale," "Men aren't afraid to go out at night unlike women," "Why do you bring this up only when women share their experiences," and of course claiming somehow men being violent to women is systemic and men all over the world are seeing to it it's part of government policy. Ugh.

I know I shouldn't let ignorant idiots like this get to me but it's just so maddening to see this kind of ignorance and stupidity being widespread and accepted as factual. It's maddening how the subject of FVAM is so taboo and off-limits, and how violence is ever made into a gendered issue at all. Both men and women alike are victims of violent men and women, and yet these morons always want to turn things into a gender war.
