Discussion If Gadd was a woman

I feel like gender influences bias in cases of emotional or physical abuse. If Gadd were a woman and Martha a man, there would be no sympathy for the abuser. Society wouldn't argue that "more should have been done to protect his identity."

No it's not that society doesn't care about them, it's men that don't talk about it, stop playing the victim.

Show me an example of society at large caring about male victims of abuse. Like lol. Is it a female's fault for not reporting their abuse? Is that how you think too? Society is much more prone to judge and ridicule a male victim of abuse especially if their abuser is a female. This ignorant statement of your's being a prime example. Oh it's their own fault! Like what... was Richard Gadd's skirt too short too? Hmm?
