After Johnny Depp’s defamation decision against Amber Heard, Left exploded in feminist anger.
Called the triumph of patriarchy and misogynistic prejudices, the left Washington PostTaylor Lorenz entered concealerMoira Donegan calls Amber Heard, another helpless victim of domestic violence who was beaten by a powerful man.
I’ve spent the last six weeks trying to bury my feelings about it as a survivor, and I just couldn’t. Men with power and capital are always trusted by women with less. This person does not face any consequences and may even be rewarded. It was an absolutely devastating day.

they all sent the same message: There is only one way to be a woman in this country: give up, shut up, shrink. to be a property, an object, a toy. Clear your head and give your body a state until it kills you.

This is so awesome that I can’t quite handle the levels of misogyny at every stage of this process, from domestic abuse and harassment to legal gaslighting. https://t.co/ZELncQyP2p

The great celebration and rejoicing of the gas survivors was terrifying.
How should all BIPOCs, gays, people with disabilities, working class people and other marginalized survivors feel if even a wealthy white woman cannot be trusted?
Who would believe us?

We believe in women. We support victims. And if you enjoy the misogyny of the moment, abusers may not see it, but the victims in your life will see it (you probably don’t know).

Far-left broadcaster The Root goes even further, saying that Johnny Depp’s greatest legal achievement was to “send a signal to black women around the world.”
“As we’ve seen from Tina Turner to Rihanna, from Megan Thee Stallion to dozens of young black women who were bullied by R. Kelly, our sickness comes to the fore and our humanity dwindles,” she said of The Root.
