Misc. got sa'd, emotionally manipulated and infantalize by an atenean board member from a popular org (starts with m) NSFW
i don’t even know if this will ever get approved, but i just want to remind everyone to please never trust a guy solely because he has a good educational background, comes from a prestigious university, or has money.
honestly, it’s so hard for me to even open up about what happened, especially knowing that he’s from ateneo, comes from a wealthy family, and is already in his fourth year. meanwhile, i’m only 18, barely middle class, and living with diagnosed mental disorders. it’s intimidating to think about how different our circumstances are and how much harder it feels for someone like me to speak up.
sometimes, i can’t help but feel like i’ll never be able to tell my side of the story while someone like him gets to continue living his life, building his future, and enjoying all the privileges that come with his background, as if nothing ever happened. and that thought alone is exhausting.
i hate that being heard can feel so much harder when you’re a woman who already belongs to a marginalized sector. i hate that someone’s reputation, wealth, and educational background can make it even more difficult to speak about what happened to you.
i just wish things were different. no one should have to feel like their voice matters less simply because they have less power, money, or privilege than the person they’re trying to speak up about.
