Breitbart reports: Calling it a win for the patriarchy and misogynistic bias, leftists from the Washington Post‘s Taylor Lorenz to The Guardian‘s Moira Donegan hailed Amber Heard as yet another helpless victim of domestic violence who was beaten by a powerful man.

I've spent the past six weeks trying to bury my own feelings about this as a survivor and I just can't anymore. Men with power and capital will always be believed over women with less. This man will face no consequences & may even be rewarded. It is an absolutely devastating day.

“I'm heartbroken that the mountain of evidence still was not enough to stand up to the disproportionate power, influence, and sway of my ex-husband,” Heard said. “I’m even more disappointed with what this verdict means for other women.” https://t.co/rbtPWZsNgN

This is so spectacularly fucked up I can’t even fully grapple with the levels of misogyny on every single level of this process starting with domestic violence and abuse and ending via legally vindicated gaslighting. https://t.co/ZELncQyP2p

The widescale celebration and joy of a survivor being gaslit is horrifying.

If a rich white woman can’t even be believed what about all the BIPOC, queer, disabled folks, working class folks & other marginalized survivors supposed to feel?

Who the fuck is going to believe us?

We believe women. We support victims. And if you're reveling in the misogyny of this moment, abusers might not see it but the victims in your life (who you're probably not even aware of) will.
