My only hope from this is that it also helps men of abuse speak up as well. It's not easy for many reasons on their end as well, but a lot of times because they also aren't believed. #MenToo was trending, and not in any sort of derogatory way, during this trial at multiple points, and while I'm sure that slogan would also be attacked and misused (like practically every slogan nowadays it seems like), I just hope that awareness from this will come up.

The worst part about this entire debacle is that Amber Heard will likely set back Believe Women a bit to a point where people can point and say "Oh she's just saying that like Amber Heard." Part of the reason that her testimony makes me angry is that it's just a mockery of actual abuse victims. You'll notice most people who have been a victim of abuse have been trashing on her because of this. She literally tried to be the spokesperson for abuse when she has beaten the shit out of every partner she's had. She's disgusting. I'm just hoping that abuse, regardless of gender, is taken seriously still after this.

But this picks back up tomorrow, with Amber giving the rest of her testimony, and her getting cross-examined and picked apart of every lie she told. I don't anticipate they'll miss with the cross. I'll probably make a new topic for it since this one is heading towards filling up and this is essentially the second part of the trial now.
