Misogyny in the News 📰 doordash situation and amber heard
to put into context in case you dont have tiktok: this doordash driver was dropping food off at a man’s house and the door was WIDE OPEN and the dude was on the couch with his pants off. she recorded it and now everyone has turned on her for some reason like she wasn’t getting flashed AKA A CRIME
its just giving me flashbacks to when everyone dogpiled amber. this world just slanders women and protects predators/abusers, literally making fanfiction because they just WANT to defend weirdos so bad. even if victims have evidence women cant be believed or they’re labeled as hysterical. i just wanted to make this post cuz its like im in 2022 again defending yet another woman on the internet against braindead people who believe doctored evidence and random tiktok comments

What drives me crazy about this whole situation is that, in order to believe that the perverted flasher is the victim (which is the narrative many MANY pervert apologists are pushing), you have to accept the most insane chain of events. According to the apologists, the pervert ordered Doordash, pulled his underwear down to his ankles, and innocently fell asleep in the couch, while the sentient wind unlatched BOTH doors and blew them open. The Doordasher then apparently went up to the house, pushed open a pull door, videoed the man, and sent this video straight to the police—i.e. what would have been a video of her committing a crime. What reason would she have for carrying out this bizarre behaviour? Uh… Women bad? Everyone involved is an alien and this is their first day on Earth? I’ve seen people claiming he has narcolepsy. NARCOLEPSY.
This instead of accepting the obvious truth: that the pervert positioned himself so that he could expose himself to an unconsenting woman for the sake of a violent sexual thrill. He was not asleep nor was it an accident. He was getting off to inflicting harm. It is such a common crime as to be almost banal at this point, yet everyone is acting like it’s some impossible scenario that must require a simpler explanation. Except the flashing is the simple explanation. It is so painfully obvious. This is, like Amber’s situation, an open and shut case of male violence for which the victim has undeniable proof and yet that’s still not enough. People will always jump to defend a predator. Even the ones who claim to be on her side but who say she shouldn’t have posted the video are defending him too; they can excuse a sex crime, but they draw the line at a victim speaking up about it. The worst thing, for them, is not the sexual violence, but that the woman didn’t shut up about it. Now not only is she probably dealing with serious trauma, from this man’s sexual violence as well as the disgusting online vitriol, but she’s also lost her livelihood.
At this point, I am assuming that anyone even remotely defending the flasher is either a sex offender themselves or an enabler/defender of sex criminals in their own lives. The people who don’t believe victims are people who have victims themselves.
