You can have the last word after this. The vast majority of domestic violence shelters are run by women. Women do the fundraising and put in the vast majority of the work to keep those centers running. The vast majority of those shelters also accept men.

I donate regularly to the Innocence Project which helps falsely incarcerated people (mostly black men) gain their freedom.

You still haven't explained how men are being “silenced.” Of course a man may be silenced in his relationship, but as a group men are not being silenced. "Cancelling" doesn't silence anyone. What's happening now is women are speaking out en masse about bad behavior from men and you don't like it. That is not silence. That is equal discourse.

Do we need to have more empathy for abused men? ABSOLUTELY YES. That is EQUALITY. That is what feminists want.

By the way, insisting on the last word is stereotypical man behavior. But you go for it. I'm not wasting any more time.
