I fucking know right? Like my bro and I were the SAME exact way. He'd do something shitty and I'd try to defend myself and then I'D be the one to blame for us getting in trouble for some reason. Like, WTF is that about?
Not to sound cliche but it’s the patriarchy/internalized misogyny thing.
Seriously, it’s the whole girls aren’t allowed to be loud/fight back situation.
Like, the worst case for me of this was when my brother got really scary? My mom was at work and my dad worked nights (god forbid he get woken up early). So, I ended up locking myself in the bathroom and when I eventually tried coming out, my brother pushed me back in and I fell and cut my back on the radiator. My brother then proceeded to freak out in a different way and he begged me not to tell my mom what really happened. I, like an idiot, did what he asked and made something up.
She eventually ended up grounding both of us, my brother for what happened and me for lying about it.
