They don& #39;t want to exchange information in a normal way. They want to overwhelm you with requests. It& #39;s not about the truth. If it was, they& #39;d be supporting the women who were harmed.
Abusers do this often, and people cape for abusers using these tactics, too.
There& #39;s no kind of sincere exchange of information. They& #39;re often just on self-drive...emotionally detached from the matter...and throwing information at you to create cracks in your belief systems.
It& #39;s not a new tactic. It& #39;s not even subtle, but they know there are a lot of people who are prone to being affected by this. If it didn& #39;t work, they wouldn& #39;t do it.
You have to be keenly self-aware to protect yourself from this kind of thing.

And it& #39;s okay to stop conversations where you see this happening--especially if this is a trigger for you. They will make a lot of claims about the truth and "facts," when those things mean very little to them.
I& #39;m saying this because I can do this, & I am guilty of doing it to others.
Personally speaking, it is very easy for me to detach from a subject matter & bombard with skewed information or things that suit my argument. I haven& #39;t done it in years, but I am entirely capable.

I am not proud of it. It was how I managed to get through trauma as a kid. There& #39;s nothing I can do to justify my actions previously, so I try to make amends by being honest about it...and also by calling it out when I see it.
Most people, when you would say, "I& #39;m not reciprocating emotional labour in regards to this" would note that and address it in a compassionate way or walk away.
People who engage in this kind of behaviour don& #39;t and cannot. Why?

The narrative is more important than the conversation. They& #39;re insincere and detached, which makes it impossible to have normal conversations about the subject matter. If you engage AT ALL, they take it as a sign that you can be open to their tactics...
That& #39;s why they stay in my mentions for weeks after a tweet. Lol
