Now it turns out Chris has also hit his mom. I feel for him, but he has to be responsible for his actions. Period. The cycle of violence must be stopped and cannot be in any way excused. My heart goes out to Rhianna.Ginahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11126067426459920339noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-26369954187771421362009-02-11T20:07:00.000-06:002009-02-11T20:07:00.000-06:00KarenIn a boxing ring with a referee in the middle...Karen<BR/>In a boxing ring with a referee in the middle of the action :)Monica Robertshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09702533200851174728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-35120650527120602892009-02-11T18:05:00.000-06:002009-02-11T18:05:00.000-06:00"Bottom line is that I don't care how mad you get,..."Bottom line is that I don't care how mad you get, it ain't cool to hit a woman period."<BR/><BR/>Is it ever "cool" to hit a man?Karenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11987046847829285009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-63711924418395545902009-02-11T12:58:00.000-06:002009-02-11T12:58:00.000-06:00That's sad to hear, these folks need educationThat's sad to hear, these folks need educationWonder Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16723949771552274515noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-42694501308504119172009-02-11T12:04:00.000-06:002009-02-11T12:04:00.000-06:00erm, that was supposed to be "fact" not "fat"erm, that was supposed to be "fact" not "fat"Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676888930241945753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-769036464352566892009-02-11T11:23:00.000-06:002009-02-11T11:23:00.000-06:00On top of all of the points you've made, it just d...On top of all of the points you've made, it just drives me up a wall how people take the fat that they like someone's artistic expression as proof that the artist is a good person and above reproach. Artists are still people, and some of them are assholes no matter how good their art is.<BR/><BR/>As far as the "she must have provoked it" meme that we see regularly in regards to domestic violence, I dated another woman who was incredibly physically abusive. I finally told my mother about it a few months after she left me, and my mom, who raised me a feminist and a progressive, said that I probably deserved it. Yeah, these attitudes run deep. I never told her about the men who abused me after that.Dorihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13676888930241945753noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20389448.post-35161531497007899082009-02-11T10:37:00.000-06:002009-02-11T10:37:00.000-06:00If a woman gets violent first, I'm not on-board wi...If a woman gets violent first, I'm not on-board with the idea that a similarly violent response is unjustified. I mean, sure, if someone, <I>anyone</I> is out of their head, it's best to restrain them until they calm down and hurt them as little as possible... but if I go at a guy with a broken bottle, and get punched in the teeth, I'm not going to turn around and scream "OMFG you hit a girl, you monster!!!"<BR/><BR/>HOWEVER, there's absolutely no evidence that Rihanna got violent first, so the entire discussion amounts to a red herring. In the end, very few people will remember the final determination... most will simply remember that some people raised the question of whether she hit him first, and that there was a controversy. Chris will get a pass, Rihanna will get the "nuts and sluts" treatment, and TMZ will rake in cash.

This is right up there with the women supporting R Kelly. Hello..supporting abuse against one woman means you cannot complain if your man comes home and suddenly decides that you deserve to get hit.Reneehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16388113393817266374noreply@blogger.com
