Because just like White Supremacy doesn’t give a single fuck about individual white ppl, patriarchy gives no fucks about individual men.

A white man shot up mostly white people at a country concert & (as a group) white people are not in the streets demanding change...

...even for their own safety. Patriarchy is the same way. Men can & are survivors just like women yet the system is still horrific...

...to survivors. So...I don’t have any encouraging words. Had a great day today with Mom but I’m tired. For me & her. She already fought...

...this battle. But we’re still here with no signs of changing. Anyway...I’ma be tweeting tomorrow.

Adding to this thread. Folks don’t understand the life long scars Sexual harassment, sexual assault can have. It’s been HARD for my mom.

Life is complicated/hard enough on it’s own. Add severe trauma & living in a society that doesn’t care & stigmatizes mental health care...

...she shouldn’t be here. That was almost the case. A few times. Thinking of all of the survivors who don’t have support. Who aren’t...
