    Yeah that guilt attempt’s not gonna work here.

    This isn’t an appeal for empathy deal. A comic thread on casual, normalised abuse women face on the internet isn’t the place to unpack your personal trauma about an abusive parent. You’ll notice i didn’t bring my abusive mother up either - because it’s not the place.

    There’s a nasty habit in some circles of waiting until someone else speaks and then seizing that opportunity to unload your shit. At its worse it’s a bad faith whataboutism tactic designed to derail. At its best it’s a maladaptive coping mechanism. Find how to speak on your own.
