it’s ‘equal rights, equal fights’ up until the point she started thumping him back for continuously, habitually beating and attacking her psychologically and physically. it’s ‘kill all rapists’ up until the rapist is a guy you find attractive. it’s ‘i support women’s wrongs’ up until a woman behaves in a way that requires nuance and forgiveness to understand. it’s ‘believe women’ up until it’s a bisexual woman being openly smeared by her ex husband, using allegations of affairs and scandal to throw off from the fact that he beat her with all his strength. it’s ‘we’re a better generation than our forebears’ up until it seems like a situation where you’re morally superior for turning a blind eye to it.
anyone who was silent during all this and all those to come, swearing that they’re as bad as each other, you don’t care about two celebrities in a dog fight: i won’t forgive you. i hope your indifference chokes you. your apathy is not any better just because you’re it’s pretending to be elevated.
anyone who believed she was in the wrong for hitting him after years of abuse, you’ll understand one day that you either have to fight or you have to die. you’re mad at her for surviving.
anyone who thinks she was wrong for defending her children against their own father, you have no idea how hard things are when all you do is blog on the internet.
anyone who thinks her lying to protect him from the cops was suspicious, quite frankly, i hope the sea eats you. he was a black man who shot her, she is a dark skinned black woman, there was no other choice. all she is asking for is justice.
anyone who thinks she should have handled it differently instead of speaking out, not speaking out as a celebrity might and does mean more vulnerable women might fall into traps. he tortured her for days, the only right thing to do is try and stop that happening to someone else.
you think they’re hysterical, they’re crazy, they’re annoying. if everyone else is doing it, it’s okay to laugh at a couple of the memes here and there. you’re not actively participating in their downfall, you’re fine. you’re not doing any harm.
what are you gonna do the day everyone starts laughing at yours?
