I was sent to jail for getting beaten up by my ex girlfriend. no joke. not a single mark on her, but they arrested me for domestic battery because she said I pulled her hair. she gave me a concussion. I couldn't even defend myself because I was afraid she would find a way to twist that into a narrative of me as the aggressor. there is no place for me to bring this up. I have no support network. but it's my fault because patriarchy, right? the only thing that makes me sad is this is the side i identify with. this is the side of the political spectrum I identify with. I think people resent me just for having that experience, because it doesn't fit their narrative. I write this comment fully expecting people to shit all over me and give 0 fucks about my trauma. whatever. it just convinces me that nobody here actually cares about people or morals or whatever. they just care about their tribe.
