This is a place to share greentexts and witness the confounding life of Anon. If you're new to the Greentext community, think of it as a sort of zoo with Anon as the main attraction.

Be warned:

If you find yourself getting angry (or god forbid, agreeing) with something Anon has said, you might be doing it wrong.

This makes it sound as if women never commit violence against men, which is just not true. Most people are not always on edge ready to fight for their life, fights are not always decided by whoever is physically stronger.

And even though it's a crime to beat someone in most countries, this sort of violence, especially if it's of sexual nature, is probably somewhere around the most underreported ones.

If a man tells someone he was beaten by a woman, he is automatically a laughingstock material, because "oh, men are physically stronger than women, no way that happened". It's even worse for rape, because there is no concept of men not consenting to sex in the "traditional" masculinity image.
