🪡: #DeppVsHeard is an entirely separate case from #JolieVsPitt. Those wielding misogyny in either case do not represent many of us who drew conclusions based on evidence, not gender. There are malicious players when cases like these are public & high-profile (1/?)
🪡: Twitter is not representative of the general population. Those who have decided to vilify Ms. Jolie without examining the claims, any evidence, previous allegations, and all prior to the case being tried in any capacity are glomming onto troll-behaviors and tactics (2/?)
🪡: They do not represent everyone who has an opinion on the case nor do they represent everyone who believes the Defendant (Ms. Heard) is a malicious defamer. Not believing the Defendant and not believing Ms. Jolie are not mutually exclusive (3/?)
🪡: Drawing the equivalency is so incredibly harmful and could potentially do more damage and perpetuate some of this vile behavior. The only people doing this are trolls, who don’t represent a majority of the population who examine things objectively and draw conclusions (4/?)
🪡: & MSM. If this is the narrative they wish to perpetuate, then continue to draw these equivalencies and irrelevant, harmful connections, whilst negating the reasons why the Defendant has been so heinously vilified (which I don’t condone, but do understand the reasoning) (5/5).

🪡: A gender paradigm has been identified, or a “DV stereotype,” where DV is described as physical abuse perpetrated by men towards women. Through more recent research, in context of family violence, female aggression, control and IPV/DV is shown (1/?)
🪡: Exploring the prevalence of female perpetrated DV has identified substantial physical aggression towards men. Around 1/3 of abused men sustains serious injuries. Studies also identified significant levels of shouting, screaming and yelling, as well as sexual aggression (2/?)
🪡: DV victimization has long term physical and mental impacts on both men and women. Men reported loss of self-worth, suicide ideation, binge drinking, PTSD, and overall poor health as a result of being victimized by their female partners (3/?)
🪡: Though I choose to be anonymous on this platform to discuss IPV, gender stereotypes, and their application to Depp Vs. Heard, I felt the need to share a bit more about myself. Though I’m in school for forensic psychology, I have previously completed a master’s (1/?)
🪡: Degree in another area of academic study. I consider myself a life-long learner and felt impassioned to study forensic psychology as a result of Depp Vs. Heard. I plan to pursue a graduate degree in this field when I complete my current program in roughly a year’s time (2/?)
🪡: Hopefully I can then pursue a doctorate. Psychology had been a field I wished to study when I first graduated high school way back when, but was deterred by those around me due to a lack of understanding of career application and opportunities with a psychology degree (3/?)
🧵I wanted to create a thread addressing this original thread by @k4mil1aa pertaining to retaliation in cases of domestic violence. There are some great points within this thread, but I want to unpack it a bit more (1/?)
The Violence Model, as Kamilia alludes to, is not sufficient in analyzing domestic violence because it treats abuse as episodic. This, to me, validates the need for greater analysis and corroboration when analyzing cases of domestic violence/abuse…(2/?)
Coercive control is a multifaceted concept/theory. However, it is not without opposition or the need of further research. It is a gendered theory & Stark’s materials “focus primarily on women’s victimization narratives,” (Anderson, 2009) (3/?)
