    Well, reported anyway, domestic violence from women is still a joke to most people and sometimes even celebrated, people loved Cardi B drugging and robbing men, men who try to report rape are laughed at and called gay for not enjoying it, if you can even report them because in many states (like my state) rape requires penetration so the worst a woman can be charged with legally speaking is “sexual assault.”

    It’s still probably more men than women, but it’s not as little of a problem from women as our numbers and common perception would have you believe, it’s just that nobody gives a fuck when the attacker is a girl/woman and the victim is male. I wouldn’t know, it’s not like I’ve been raped twice by two different women or anything (because in my state, legally speaking, it was “only” sexual assault. Don’t worry though, those women will never be charged with that either, they’re free to continue sexually assaulting).

      That’s horrifying, I’m so sorry that you’ve lived through that. I said lower on purpose, I CERTAINLY didn’t mean zero - because I absolutely know it happens still.

      I felt like the world was getting less toxic and this vile but common social reaction was improving. Like, the 80s or 90s vs the late 2010s felt like society had made massive improvement here. But everything’s more fucked right now and people are more unabashedly shitty than ever in our lifetimes, I’m sure we’re worse off today and will be for a while now.
