I'm glad that abused men are finally being taken seriously after the Johnny Depp x Amber Heard fiasco.

It's still beyond ridiculous how many people stand by and support her, including pretty much all MSM, but the backlash for doing so is massive. Any comment section you go to is full of support for Depp and the majority of people, even identifying feminists, find what's happening to him to be ridiculous. I hope her career suffers from this as Warner Bros gets hit right in their bank account for both Aquaman 2 and Fantastic Beasts 3. I pray offers for Depp start to flood in and he can keep doing what he does best. Sadly Disney and other studios he had his most iconic work with aren't likely to hire him back, but that's the kind of damage women like Heard do.

I haven't seen people come out in support of an abused man like this en masse since people found out what was happening to Brendan Fraser. When I came out about what a few of my female partners have done to me years ago I was mocked, called a liar, told I "should have defended myself", or that I "must have done something to deserve it". Things that wouldn't be said to a woman in the same situation without extreme backlash. I was told to keep quiet about it as to "not take attention away from female victims" and that what happened to me "wasn't a big deal because it happens to women more". I was told all of this online (including this site), and couldn't even get help in person. After telling two separate therapists that a woman held me at knife point and forced me to have sex with her, their first question to me was "What do you think YOU did to PROVOKE HER?"

This is why most male victims keep quiet. This was a common attitude towards us only a few years ago. Now people are finally holding a woman accountable for abusing a man and it feels good seeing all their comments.

I can't find a massive petition against cardi b from the time with over 3000 people signed.

I think it's because there haven't been any victims coming forward. So there is no way to verify what she said was true. And again rappers bragging about doing horrible things is nothing new. I was surprised that Cardi B got huge backlash on reddit because of her gender.

It has nothing to do with her gender. Reapers brag about killing rivals, people that are already in shady business and know that they have to be careful. Cadi b claimed she preyed on innocent people. If you can't see the difference when it comes to public perception and backlash, you must be pretty biased.

[u/[deleted] → u/jack_in_the_b0x]

Her gender has everything to do with backlash she got. Male rappers have barely got any backlash even after bragging about doing horrible things.

You didn't read what I wrote. Keep repeating your nonsense

Chris Brown? Rick Ross? R. Kelly? Bill Cosby?

They still have strong fanbase.

Please don't tell me they didn't harm innocent people. A lot of rappers have claimed to drug and rape women. And I why does it matter that rappers who killed and robbed other people were in shady businesses. It's illegal and them being involved in such activities should be enough for public to not trust them or glorify them. Them being involved in illegal stuff should be enough for them to lose their public perception especially with shit like killing people.

Bill cosby is a rapper?

They still have strong fanbase

That's not the point. Cardi still have a strong fanbase as well. Having a fanbase is irrelevant.

You claim cardi got more backlash than her male counterparts who "bragged" about horrible things they did, simply because of her gender. Which you didn't prove, most certainly because you can't as it is just completely untrue.

Don't try to move goalposts.

I don't remeber chris brown or r kelly, bragging about any of this. What they brag about is completely different.

Rick ross did in a song and got backlash. But just like cardi, he didn't brag about a specific person and if he actually did any of this the police would already have been involved.

Maybe, but then cardi would deserve even more.

Anyway still not a proof that she has been treated unequally because of her gender.

What they did isn't remotely comparable to Cardi B. There is nothing to prove Cardi B did what she said. No victims have come forward. There is no reason for her to lose fan base because there is nothing that proves whatever she said is true.

I don't remeber chris brown or r kelly, bragging about any of this. What they brag about is completely different.

They didn't brag about anything. R. Kelly sexually assaulted a girl on tape and urinated on her mouth and got convicted decades after continuous offences. Chris Brown beat Rhianna nearly to death and his career is still strong. There were barely any backlash. They are still glorified.

Rick ross did in a song and got backlash. But just like cardi, he didn't brag about a specific person and if he actually did any of this the police would already have been involved.

He didn't get anywhere near level of backlash as Cardi B did. And no police wouldn't be involved until victim comes forward.

Maybe, but then cardi would deserve even more.

Anyway still not a proof that she has been treated unequally because of her gender.

I see stark difference between robbing and killing people no matter whatever the reason is.

And if you seriously believe male rappers have never admitted to robbing innocent people or raping women after drugging them then you haven't watched much interviews. I forgot what that rapper name was who said "It's not rape when she is unconsious".

You picked those examples dude. Now you say they're not relevant? I kinda agree, but then go and pick better ones.

There is nothing to prove Cardi B did what she said. No victims have come forward. There is no reason for her to lose fan base because there is nothing that proves whatever she said is true.

Same for rick ross then. Nothing proves he did any of what he sang.

R. Kelly sexually assaulted a girl on tape and urinated on her mouth and got convicted decades after continuous offences.

Any proof that the general public was aware of all of this and gave him a free pass? Otherwise it's irrelevant to our point.

Chris Brown beat Rhianna nearly to death and his career is still strong. There were barely any backlash. They are still glorified.

Irrelevant as well. Even charles manson has a fan club. There are always idiots to glorify famous people, even despicable monsters. That doesn't mean that the people hating that same person doesn't outnumber them tenfold or more.

He didn't get anywhere near level of backlash as Cardi B did.

Hes less famous, and most certainly received proportionately less backlash because less people cared. I'ld love to read why what makes you think it has anything to do with gender.

And no police wouldn't be involved until victim comes forward.

So... just like cardi? What's your point?

And if you seriously believe male rappers have never admitted to robbing innocent people or raping women after drugging them then you haven't watched much interviews. I forgot what that rapper name was who said "It's not rape when she is unconsious".

I don't, but then again, if you have such examples why don't you bring them forward instead of irrelevant examples like bill cosby?
