I was once seeing a girl for a couple weeks that FUCKING ROOFIED MY DRINK so she could look through my phone while I was lying there watching her unable to move. It was absolutely fucked.

That's horrible, I hope you're doing better now

I’m married now, and this was over a decade ago. As soon as I was able to function again I kicked her out of my house and never spoke to her again.

Terrifying. I've had other reasons to only use a passcode, but now I have another.

Good thing you managed to stay conscious, holy shit!
Didn't even know that was possible

Woah stop making men feel safe and seen. Next thing they'll become feminists, or worse, empathetic and caring humans!

Really applies to most things. I'm not a dude, trans woman, but I've gotten sexually harassed a lot both pre and post transition and the response I got pre and post transition is night and day. Pretransition people treated me like I was crazy for feeling unsafe and like I was supposed to enjoy it.
Honestly, men should be allowed to feel unsafe around women, or really allowed to feel unsafe in general, and be taken seriously for it.

One downfall of what I only hesitantly refer to as modern feminism (although really I'm talking about terfs and the terf-adjacent) is that it has painted men as dangerous by default. I'm also a trans woman so I've seen both sides of the coin, too... I do feel less safe now, this is true. Many things were easier when I was living as a man. But I was never dangerous or an abuser.

Nonetheless, a former partner used accusations of abuse against me and turned so many people on me. The only ones that stuck by me were former romantic partners, who knew the accusations couldn't have been true. For everyone else, it was so easy to accept that a man - even a clearly gentle one - would be an abuser.

In reality I've been a victim of abuse - physical, emotional, sexual... All long before I transitioned.

Thanks for posting this! Being male and being abused is a very isolating experience on many levels. I wish good things upon you, friend.

But the only place men have to go to is an imaginary fish thing.

abusers are trash, no matter what their gender. May they all rot.

An abusive partner accusing the other of cheating is very often a projection of the fact they themselves had been cheating. Since they know they would cheat, and were/are, they either assume the other person is the same way, or simply don't want to draw attention to their affair. It's an awful thing.

Thanks, Mr. Blobfish! That's funny, I don't recall taking Ambien...

This will keep happening as long as the left treats any acknowledgement of mens issues as a moral failing
