Alllll those words and none of them are “I served in the Navy as a fellow officer with Ms. Goldstein. I unequivocally stand with her & survivors, resent all the harm she’s endured, and I commit to ____”
This whole thread is blatant textbook gaslighting & toxic manipulations

His thread instantly reminded me of toxic male vets I’ve dealt with. They’re literally all reading from the same book.
The “How DARE You Call Me Out?! These witches are a conspiracy!”
The denial, deflection & coverup.
White men w this fragility & seething resentment is scary.

Too often people think of abuse as purely physical harm & assault
But if this is the “Im Rubber You’re Glue” way Crenshaw responds to someone he was in the same military unit with, who’s a Hill colleague now, in the face of an IG report... I can’t imagine how he’s been elsewhere

There’s a whole sociology/psychology about straight white dude toxicity magnified when it comes to former military/security—exponentially more so when it comes to a trashbag like #DanCrenshaw with a complex who was special forces.
Never held accountable, so he’s allergic to it.

One of the toxic poisons of misogyny is resenting women who break with the patriarchal tradition of quietly smiling as we eat abuse & give the other cheek.
When women own their power & stand up for themselves w maturity abusers don’t have, character assassination soon follows. https://twitter.com/abbierbennett/status/1339320439252922371

As a result women/girls/gnc, Black & brown folks, marginalized peoples, are groomed into paralyzing self-doubt & a ridiculous lose lose cycle of pull yourself up by your bootstraps.
Not matter what you do you’re
“Acting like a weak victim”
“Burning bridges”
“A scheming bitch”

Advocating for oneself shouldnt be impossible, add more damage, or = overt/covert retaliation
When others see the uphill battle it was for you, they’re further dissuaded from confronting toxicity & oppression in their own lives
Torturous cycle = “that’s just the way it is”

It’s imperative people get competent on this destructive cycle and take ownership to stop it.
Women cannot/should not be expected to be strong leaders, fighters for justice, all having to shoulder the emotional labor, taking hits & abusers remaining unaccountable.

Dan Crenshaw’s piss poor grifting and silence are a direct reflection of his decision-making ability and ethical compass.
He brings discredit and dishonor to his position, all who’ve suffered & public trust broken as a direct result of a corrupt SecVA

Yea let’s all get behind holding Wilkie & Crenshaw accountable.
Slimy men without integrity at the head of some #veterans organizations have worked overtime to coverup their own toxicity, misogyny & absent accountability
It’s disgusting we have to keep playing coy about it.
