celtyradfem: micdotcom: Watch: A TV host brilliantly shut down his audience for laughing at a male domestic violence survivor (While host Jeremy Kyle’s response to this particular incident was a strike against sexism, it’s worth noting he doesn’t have a perfect track record the issue.) Men laugh at women being hurt all the time so stop with the ‘what is the roles were reversed’ bullshit. It also doesn’t make sense for him to jump off the balcony if he was stuck in the apartment he could just call for help or wait. He didn’t have to jump off the balcony. He wasn’t in immediate danger.

Men laugh at women being hurt all the time so stop with the ‘what is the roles were reversed’ bullshit.

one more time Men laugh at women being hurt all the time so stop with the ‘what is the roles were reversed’ bullshit. And also? They jerk off to it. It literally gets their dicks hard.

“It also doesn’t make sense for him to jump off the balcony if he was stuck in the apartment he could just call for help or wait. He didn’t have to jump off the balcony. He wasn’t in immediate danger.” <— This is victim blaming.



This is literally the most blatant stomach-turning disgusting example of victim-blaming I’ve seen in a long time.

You are literally telling an abuse survivor who was seriously injured escaping from his abuser that it’s his own fault for getting injured and that he doesn’t deserve sympathy. You don’t know anything about his situation. You don’t know if he had food or any means to call for help, you don’t know how long he tried to do so, you don’t know if he was afraid she’d return with a weapon. A person was abused so badly they landed in the hospital and you’re making excuses for their abuser and suggested they deserved their injuries. I don’t even have words for how sickening that is.

And, yeah, in fact there are lots of people who would never laugh at a woman being the victim of abuse which landed her in the hospital who did in fact start laughing when this man told his story. There is absolutely a fucking double standard here and you exemplify it, unless you also vomit this derailing self-serving victim-blaming bullshit at female abuse survivors (in which case, well, still fuck you).
