He shot her in the face

[mountain grammy]

And then growled “you fucking bitch “as the car moved away. Maybe the last words she heard.

How many women have heard the words “you fucking bitch” screamed in their face right before a fist, or worse, slams into them?

I’ll go first. Me 😢 if you can answer you survived. The latest victim of state sponsored violence did not.

men are afraid women will laugh at them. Women are afraid men will kill them.. The Handmaids Tale

1. Has anyone else had their anxiety triple with the murder of Renee Good?

Mine has after seeing her face and believing the fbi will cover this up. Along with his constant threats of taking Greenland (fuck Stephen Miller ). I really could use Xanax right now.

[Trailrider1951]

3. How about a hug?

[mountain grammy]

8. Yes.

[ShazzieB]

27. My anxiety soared when the Orange Hellbeast attacked a sovereign nation and abducted their head of state.

Then the murder in Minneapolis made it soar even higher until my mental health suddenly did a barrel roll and then nosedived toward the ground. Fortunately I was able to regain control of the craft before it crashed and burned.

Living in America these day is exhausting. This is how I feel right now:

[Joinfortmill]

31. I needed this

[MuseRider]

2. I have heard it for many different reasons, was raised with it.

All above. Catching a bit of it now so I think I will stop here. There are days when I just can't shut up. KWIM?

[mountain grammy]

10. Yep

And his tone of voice. Chilling.

[sboatcar]

4. That man is a domestic abuser

He checks all the boxes. I worry for his wife.


So rumor has it, immediately after the shooting, he went home (not to the hospital), and started packing, and within an hour or so, a line of SUVs showed up and he threw a bunch of boxes into them, then got in his own truck and was escorted away, and no one has seen him or his wife ever since. They're probably in a luxury bungalo at Mar a Lago right now.

[mountain grammy]

5. Sure not the actions of an innocent man.

[Maru Kitteh]

6. Me, right before I hit the wall with abdominal staples dehisced

and broken ribs. Three days after giving birth.



Too many of us have been through it. We know what we see when we see it.

[mountain grammy]

7. You're still here

[Maru Kitteh]

9. You too MG. You too.

[MIButterfly]

19. How awful, Maru Kitteh. My heart breaks for you.

I hope you are safe now.

[MuseRider]

39. Thank you for your kind

response to my post.

I missed some I am certain but I love and appreciate you all.

It feels like a blanket here.

[xmas74]

11. The real question is

Who hasn't heard it?

[stillspkg]

15. Well..

I am angry with those who have, even as I have never been called that. It is shocking when I hear of it and I don't ever want it to become normal. I stand with my sisters and brothers. Women deserve better and men should be held accountable for violent language,

[Bayard]

33. This is why my ex-husband is my ex.....

I've heard it from other sources too, though. Usually men who feel threatened by a strong woman.

[Scrivener7]

12. I'm so sorry mountain grammy.

[mountain grammy]

16. Thank you

So long ago, but hearing his voice on his own phone. Ugh

[Scrivener7]

17. That doesn't go away. No matter how long ago.

[LuckyCharms]

13. It's a common phrase spoken by weak men...

when they realize that a woman is stronger than he is.

I'm so sorry for what you went through. I know that doesn't help anything, but I'm truly sorry.

[Srkdqltr]

14. I hope i say this right

I have never in my 84 years been subjected to that sort of treatment.
My heart breaks for those of you who have.
I would love to hug you all and take away all that hurt.

[MuseRider]

40. You just did

thank you so much.

[BurnDoubt]

18. Say it with me:

"Toxic Masculinity”
The Nut THIS TREE Grew From.

[txwhitedove]

20. Me, moved on, survived, and surpassed. I saw it again in tRump when he first ran for office,

and told everyone not to vote for him.

[Clouds Passing]

21. Hugs to all of us who have had to listen to this verbal hateful abuse.

[Skittles]

22. the only time I heard YOU FUCKING BITCH

was when I smashed the toes of a pervert with my combat boot

yes indeed

[mountain grammy]

28. 👍

Yes indeed. Thank you.

[Joinfortmill]

23. Yes, a very long time ago.

Which reminds me, I need to check if he's dead yet

[Wednesdays]

32. Dead!? We'll be lucky if they don't apotheosize him! nt

[erronis]

24. Post today from JoJoFromJerz

"Fucking Bitch." - The cost of telling a dangerous man you're not afraid

https://jojofromjerz.substack.com/p/fucking-bitch

[underpants]

29. That's a good read. Highly recommend it

[mountain grammy]

37. Great piece

Thanks for sharing.

[niyad]

25. I am very lucky. I have been called that a number of times, as well as

the c-word (which, as I have posted previously, I proudly claim, knowing the origin) but physical violence never followed. For some reason, those trying to frighten and insult me have tended to be intimidated. The times someone did try, "you fucking bitch" was not part of it.

However, from many years of DV work, I know all too well that far too many other women have not been so fotunate.

[Pacifist Patriot]

26. Every time I've been called that...

I either feared for my physical safety or my career was sabotaged.

Men have no idea how dangerous it is to simply allow a man to experience his insecurities.

[Wednesdays]

30. This may be the reason why this incident resonates with so many

You're having an ordinary day, then *BAM* ... you're dead within milliseconds.

Something everybody fears in the back of their minds. But females, especially.

[raccoon]

34. If that asshole murderer doesn't beat his wife, there ain't a cow in Texas.

[Bayard]

35. This is the first time I've heard this aspect of the murder

Thanks, MG.

[Zackzzzz]

36. I was putting gas in my car and a truck

drove up on the other side. I looking at the gas meter
and the guy who was on the other side said to me,
"You're the reason the world is the way it is".
I looked behind me. Was he talking to me?
I turned back and said, "Who me"?
There has been worse, much worse.
But why the blanket hatred from men?

He was speaking from a comfortable space.
I stayed...until he drove off, first.

[democrank]

38. Thank you for this mountain Grammy.

This deadly incident….murder….caused by that brutal ICE agent and all the turmoil and chaos that followed felt like it blew me wide open. It brought back old feelings of terror and dread, of desperation . Those feelings and tears are just below the surface, as real as ever, .even after decades.

I’m sending a hug to anyone here that needs one.

[Raine]

41. My neighbor calls me that though not to my face. He just tells everyone

else that's what I am. I just laugh it off, I have my own words for him! No one has ever hit me, thank goodness.
