People are using the Johnny Depp and Amber Heard trial as an excuse to discredit women and tout misogyny

, and how men can be victims. Personally, I believe that so far the evidence supports Johnny. But, I'm not here to write about the legal trial or who's innocent and guilty. The case is ongoing, Amber is yet to testify, and I am not the judge or juror.

What I want to address and unpick are the ways the case is being weaponised by misogynists to fuel the narrative that women are not to be trusted or believed. To me, the case has highlighted that a lot of men do not actually care about male victims of abuse, because they are using it to ‘prove’ thatis ‘toxic’ and to discredit women who are victims of abuse, rather than showing support or standing up for victims.

Twitter users have commented that ‘Amber Heard has single-handedly set the feminist movement back by 50 years’, one user asked 'So I'm supposed to believe women but not believe the woman who arrested Amber Heard for DV or the woman who said Amber Heard abused her AND stole her rape story or the women who said Johnny Depp was never violent towards them? Instructions unclear, I built a shelf', the phrase ‘Believe ALL women…REALLY??? That’s the dumbest thing I’ve Amber Heard’ has...

Bad apples don't exist when it comes to violence against women - the whole basket is rotting, diseased from the patriarchy and sexism - but they do exist when we reverse the situation. Because reverse sexism cannot and does not exist; oppression flows in one direction only, from the oppressor to the oppressed.

The trial is high-profile, it was always going to be, given that Johnny is one of the world's biggest actors. It's being televised. Every major news outlet is reporting on it. It's trending on Twitter almost every day. And, I hope, that justice is served. But- my fear - which is already coming true, is that it will be used as a proverbial stick to beat women who talk out against domestic violence and sexual abuse.

This isn't about misogyny. This is about misandry. This is about shedding a light on male survivors of DV and abusive women. Talk about that instead. As as a female survivor of DV, I'm disappointed in this article. IStandWithJohnnyDepp

She never turned over her phone & he did. Think about who is more truthful! Even the butler called it correctly. Not all women are sane!
