Descrição:

The silence of many media outlets surrounding recent revelations in a certain high profile deformation case, is a disgraceful indication of the endemic hypocrisy in our current cultural climate when dealing with male victims of domestic violence.

These media outlets, who purport to stand up for victims, do no such thing. Instead, they peddle their agendas and those of their advertisers regardless of facts, choosing for business and other reasons to disseminate hearsay and factually discredited rumour over evidence...

...provided it fits their narrative. In doing so, they conveniently ignore that a position of power and privilege was used to exploit an important cultural movement and the real abuse victims they purport to represent.

The annihilation of an innocent and decent individual's reputation in the process is acceptable collateral damage. The shame is theirs.

That said, we, as a society, all need to improve. We need to be honest and fair. We must not jump to tabloid-driven conclusions. We must court reason and parity. And as someone recently stated, truth does not have a gender.
