    Fellas, is it toxic masculinity's fault that you don't feel safe to share your feelings, or is it women's? Sound off in the comments.

      I swear, it has to have a name. Does anyone know the name of an abuse tactic where you retaliate against the aggressor and they overexaggerate how much they were hurt either to play mind games with you or flex their social capital when everyone sees you as the bad guy despite knowing the context full well?

          It’s something else, I had to undergo this a lot irl in high school.

          I’d tell someone who was more popular than me to fuck off, and they would act shocked I would say something back (and their bullying tactic was literally “ironic sexual harassment”) and called me a bully. Lo and behold I get called into the principal’s office and not them, since apparently some school faculty actually get in on high school politics, something I confirmed during my time as a substitute teacher.

          Best I can think of is DARVO or maybe even the good ol’ boy system.
