So often true

I'm a victim of false accusations.

It cost me over 100k in the custody battle. Every cent was worth it and I now have full custody, but I lost years of a relationship with my child. She tried so hard to ruin my life but after multiple frivolous civil lawsuits and CPS investigations alongside the custody battle the truth emerged.

I didn't react. I didn't play into her ploys. I kept a level head. I worked on bettering myself rather than dropping to her level. Despite all that it was the single darkest and hardest times I've ever endured. I'm extremely fortunate that I had a good outcome but I'm afraid that isn't the norm.

False accusations are extremely dangerous.

I (don't really) like to imagine how if someone were to invent a star trek-esqe teleportation device that beams people from place to place, how the auto manufacturers, road infrastructure organizations, and a probably countless other industries would be up in arms about their "losses" without realizing how stupid and short sighted that stance would be.

It's like we're unable to outgrow anything as a society without toddler-tantrum-like backlash from those who have benefitted from us being beholden to the current status quo.

TIL about Earl Silverman, a domestic abuse survivor who founded a shelter for men. It was denied funding from the government and he was ridiculed. The shelter went bankrupt and he died by suicide

I am a victim of abuse. We had a kid too. The court handed my daughter to my abuser when she made false claims and I was arrested. All charges were dropped but the custody battle was delayed and made wildly more complex than it needed to be by the mother. Two months ago I was finally awarded sole custody. It has been so hard. To say male abuse victims have an uphill battle is an understatement.

Like his wealth, which he did not meaningfully earn, but still gets to use, benefit from, and control.

IMHO, that dork hates wokeness because it's a movement of human to human empathy, and you can't have a compassionate society and billionaires at the same time.
