"You know how many men are starting to sarcastically call their wives/girlfriends ‘Amber’ or ‘Miss Heard’ when they are upset or angry?
I keep getting messages and comments from women saying this is happening to them in arguments with spouse or exes.
The damage is done.
This case and the societal response to it, the global bullying, mocking and hatred towards Amber is destroying VAWG, feminism & any progress we’ve made breaking down stigma of domestic/sexual abuse - either that - or we had never made any progress at all & we were in an echo chamber.
Last week was the first time a woman commented to tell me that her ex has started calling her ‘Amber’ as an insult.
Then another woman commented that her husband threatened her and when she cried, he called her ‘Amber’
I’ve started seeing more and more comments.
This morning I woke up to a comment from a woman who said her ex was screaming at her in front of their daughter so she asked him to stop screaming and lower his voice and he said ‘Ok Miss Heard’ and DARVO her.
The fact that these comments appear to be from women from different countries, different ages, different backgrounds and yet men are starting to use ‘Amber’ and ‘Miss Heard’ as an insult is fucking terrifying.
I keep finding myself questioning what the real agenda was of televising this trial, and the media coverage of it.
What was the real purpose of tearing apart a woman like this for the whole world to watch on YouTube and Tiktok with their popcorn?
I think we are finding out."
