I’ve been called “hateful” more times than I can count. It used to really upset me. Especially given that I always take great care to try to be kind and respectful and not at all hateful even when — especially when? — I disagree with someone. Which doesn’t mean I don’t stand up for myself. And it doesn’t mean I don’t advocate for women and children.
From the covid years I learned that people who have no real argument (no leg to stand on) resort to name calling. Everything is "hate." Everything is "racist." It's the laziest thing they can do.
I suspect many of your subscribers can relate to the abandonment of once close friends and the admonishment of judgmental know-it-alls who, it turns out, did not know much of anything at all! We’ve lost the ability to think for ourselves and question mainstream narratives. Given what we know now, doesn’t it feel good to be on the right side of history?
Thanks for all you’re doing to protect and honour girls and women.
Well I went thru this with ex friends from Arizona. 35 years of close friendship, visits, cancer, etc. Undying support for each other through some horrible times. And then politics and it was all gone. Like I didn’t exist like I was a “criminal” as I was eventually called because my beliefs were different. Now I reached out after 7 years and said can we be “friends” not visit friends or phone call friends but email friends just to make sure we’re alive and well. No politics just old friend caring. And so the husband said “ok”. I was amazed but I tread carefully. This is not a fun time to,live through. But we are strong and will survive and come out stronger on the other side. Jen you will succeed! Your product and mission are on point!
As a trans widow with a YouTube channel, I've developed an approach to handling trolls. Because of the threats they write, I note down their words and details. Then I delete and block. When it's useful for other women who have divorced suddenly demanding, suddenly crossdressing husbands, I make a video about the trolls, their projection and their childish behaviors, all of which are narcissistic, anti-social and damaging to those around them.
