If you had of read my comments about this in the previous posts*, i almost certainly would have mentioned as much.<br /><br />My point was as such: How can a woman justify what Chris did, when they could have easily been his victim. How can someone not think &quot;that could be me&quot;.<br />And yes it hits home for me more because i am female - just like i would no doubt feel more for stories about children if i were a mother (&quot;that could be my child&quot; etc). That isn&#39;t feminism, it&#39;s just how our emotions tend to work.<br /><br />On the topic of DV against men, this is an interesting story about it (along with the comments):<br />http://www.abc.net.au/news/stories/2009/06/22/2604559.htmstiffkittenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17867912573351973476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-59421457227792831332009-07-09T10:25:39.294-07:002009-07-09T10:25:39.294-07:00I have no words for what Sharron wrote. Unbelievable. No mention of his smug &quot;Oops&quot; necklace, of course.RocketQueenhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/14591968302290881877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-18053987304438203982009-07-09T09:21:17.121-07:002009-07-09T09:21:17.121-07:00I actually agree with some of what sharron says. Not all, but I do think that there is a double standard that allows women to beat up on men and it&#39;s OK, but if a man defends himself from a woman who is hitting him, he&#39;s a monster. <br /><br />Obviously I am not talking about men who just beat up women for the hell of it, they are jackasses and should be severely punished, but why is it taken more seriously when a man beats up on a woman? Why is it if a man is abused, he&#39;s a pussy and a bitch? <br /><br />It&#39;s the double standards I have an issue with here. We need to take ALL assault/domestic violence seriously and seek the same penalties regardless of sex. THAT is the path of true equality between the sexes, which, if I&#39;m not mistaken, was the whole point of feminism. You just cannot (and should not) scream about how women are equal in every way to men, but turn around and claim that beating up women is worse somehow because it&#39;s a woman. It just doesn&#39;t make any sense. <br /><br />And let me say once again that ALL ASSAULT IS WRONG. ALL OF IT, REGARDLESS OF SEX. PERIOD. <br /><br />Stiffkittens, I can see why you would be shocked that women can side with men, but I am one of those women (usually), and that&#39;s because of the double standards. <br /><br />Also, just because I happen to be female does not mean that I feel any sort of solidarity or sisterhood with women (because I don&#39;t), nor will I agree with them when I feel that they are being unfair, simply because we&#39;re the same sex. I think that kind of thinking is divisive and doesn&#39;t do anything to help solve the issues. But that&#39;s just me, I guess.amanda raehttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09020676577653716475noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-49091117429285706142009-07-09T08:19:42.987-07:002009-07-09T08:19:42.987-07:00sharron - It&#39;s people like you that make men like Chris think it&#39;s okay to raise a hand to a woman (and that it&#39;s the woman&#39;s fault in the first place). <br />Also what part of BEATING THE SHIT out of Rihanna is validated by an alleged slap from her? <br /><br />A man that strong, with martial arts training should have been able to resolve ANY conflict with a woman her size, without pummeling her face or biting her like a wild animal.<br /><br />I believe that white celebs are treated just the same as black ones on this blog - see posts/comments about Pean etc. Unless you are calling Enty and all of us that comment racist? I don&#39;t think so somehow.<br /><br />Oh but he doesn&#39;t have any DUI on record, and anything bad he&#39;s done (who the hell are you kidding that he&#39;s a saint?!) hasn&#39;t been documented in the press...Yep, that absolves the whole woman-beating thing... <br />Do you honestly think that was the first time that he did that to her? Domestic violence needs to have continued for a long time before the perpetrator will go that far, and for the victim to brush off that level of violence (through emotional/mental abuse and conditioning - basically they break their victims. What a good guy he must be...)<br />He managed to hide that side of himself for so long, and the only reason he is not still doing that to Rihanna (whilst the world is blissfully ignorant to it) is through his bad luck. Makes me wonder what other skeletons he has in his closet, but then again some of us have ethics.<br /><br />I CAN NOT believe how someone - especially a woman - can defend a man like that (and this goes for any woman-beaters/abusers).stiffkittenshttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17867912573351973476noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-83439655370337981172009-07-09T08:01:41.850-07:002009-07-09T08:01:41.850-07:00Interesting....Another photo shot w/Teyana Taylor!GoddessNowhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/12765307311560060280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-18022904917278893842009-07-09T07:24:13.689-07:002009-07-09T07:24:13.689-07:00This is the most ridiculous and negative site I&#39;ve ever been to.Did one of you ever see CHris Brown before this incident. Do you know how DECENT he showed himself to be?No drugs,humility,no DUI&#39;s,none of the normal successful celeb drama.And the fact that he &#39;fought&#39; with RIhanna can not wipe away all his years of decency.I am a female and I know it is WRONG for me to slap on or hit on a man.Rihanna admitted on her police report that she had slapped Chris before. And most likely we&#39;ll find out that she escalted that night to violence.So for Chris to have gone out of his way to be humble and decent throughout his whole career and to end up being demonized by hypocrits like you and the world wide media, will most likely turn him into an arrogant prick..like the rest of the celebs. Jack Nicholson,Charlie Sheen, Sean Pean,Christian Slater,Mickey Rourke and zillions of other a-list WHITE males beat the crap out of their mates. The D.A. never picked up the cases and the media never demonized one of them. The only &#39;women beaters&#39; ever referred to by you and them is Ike Turner..wonder why that is????I wasn&#39;t a fan of Chris Brown&#39;s, but due to the ridiculous media demonization of him - I most certainly will go out of my way to support him now - as long as he relays hiw regrets and stays clear of violence.(which shouldn&#39;t be a problem as long as he&#39;s away from a fighting woman).sharronhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02310759260095961119noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-61720299876113964912009-07-08T20:03:09.764-07:002009-07-08T20:03:09.764-07:00If the necklace puts a hole in him, do you think he&#39;ll just deflate and fly away?chestnut-redhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07870690466815961565noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-37309174.post-20901734840741043752009-07-08T15:31:29.149-07:002009-07-08T15:31:29.149-07:00Sorry.
