I refer to this video. When I indulged myself in the tripe that was the Jeremy Kyle show, I don't remember anyone laughing at a woman who went through abuse. Yeah I know there's different audiences but it illustrates the point that there are people (hopefully a vocal minority as opposed to a majority) who don't take these crimes seriously

Being scared to be in your own home and around someone who is supposed to love you because they hurt you and you don't know how to escape that situation or if it's even possible, is not a joke and anyone can find themselves in that situation, anyone.

i'm talking more about the myth that men who are accused of domestic abuse/rape/etc. against women are usually committed or punished when that's just...not true lmao
& the "if the roles were reversed comments" type comments enforce that
