Today, November 25, is “Orange Day.” A day that the UN started to draw attention to and stop violence against women around the world.
For some time now, women have shared how they have been treated by men under the hashtag #womeninmalefields on TikTok.
Among others, the artist Lia Larsson has shared a clip where she writes “he was sitting on the floor, crying and having a panic attack so I threw both an Xbox box and a headset at him to make him quiet…”
– There are many who have not seen the trend as simply: “has she done this?” Then I have to explain to myself that “no, it’s backwards.”
Meet with support
In the comments section, she has also received hearts and strengthening comments.
– People support and say that “I will always be on your side Lia.”
Lia Larsson also says that she chose to share the clip with her younger followers to highlight that anyone can be exposed to what she was exposed to.
– When I was little myself, I thought about the people I looked up to that “God, they don’t have any problems.”
Backlash
The trend has also created a backlash with men reacting with the hashtag #meninfemalefields.
Among other things, guys have posted videos and shared situations like: “she asked what was wrong and I said ‘nothing'” and “she confronted me about lying to her, so I cried and lied even more (I’m the victim).”
