You said exactly what I've been feeling but didn't have the words to express! Thanks for this.

I find it odd that the most shocking part of your story was that your "friend" referred to you Everyday Feminism for advice that blamed your having been physically abused on your own toxic masculinity. If this had been a story about a fictional character, I'd have laughed, loudly and bitterly.

I have been held at gunpoint several times and physically assaulted more. In most cases I was explicitly told by my assailant that I was targeted for my race. In the remaining instances I was targeted for my sex. For what it's worth.
