I took a bit of a backseat with the whole Johnny vs Amber thing, and i’ll be honest, I was disappointed at how the whole case became a battlefield of memes and edgy jokes. Important lessons were lost; namely around the true bidirectional and cyclical nature of domestic violence, and how women and men participate in such violence at *equal rates*. Instead of useful discourse, Team Johnny and Team Amber picked up sticks and beat each other with them. The conversation became narrowed; squished into hashtags and tiny tweets, and shoehorned into smaller and smaller bitesized rectangles, suitable for the daily deuce. It was to be expected I guess. But what I didn’t expect, was over 130 feminist organisations to come out with an open letter backing Amber Heard. Yes we live in a world where our domestic violence organisations have become so ideologically corrupt, that they are now openly supporting an abuser. I don’t get it. Do the audio tapes, expert testimonies, eye witness accounts, medical records and mountains of photographic evidence not translate into the language of radical feminist outrage? How much information has to bounce off of such thick skulls before a modicum of knowledge is stubbornly chewed upon? The letter is worth reading of course, and can be digested in full at amberopenletter.com. Those signing it are the none-too-suprising village idiots. The self aggrandising, self anointed ‘experts’, and soon to be self-immolating arseholes; who remained silent and cowardly at the time, but now have come out in full force. So what do you think? ~ Source Teen Violence Study https://tinyurl.com/bdeukfkm #johnnydepp #amberheard #justiceforjohnnydepp #domesticabuse #amberheardisanabuser
