    The power to ostracize and bully me out of a job for daring to get sexually assaulted by my female boss while being intersex-presenting-male, then continue to bully and ostracize me for the following seven years, fully destroying my life.

      Not-so-fun fact: If you call the domestic abuse hotline as a male who’s experiencing violence at the hands of a woman, they will just hang up on you.

      Source: I was in a physically abusive relationship and tried to call the domestic abuse hotline for advice, and they hung up on me.

        As someone who saw the cops go over to the neighbor’s house about 15 times… They don’t care about any kind of domestic violence 😊

          I refuse to belittle or diminish anyone’s suffering who’s been through domestic violence. Doesn’t matter if they are a man or a woman, I hope that your neighbor finds away to get out of their abusive situation.
