Trust me, we would have likely heard such lines as he is stronger than her, she couldn't really harm him, he was in no danger, he is just a common thug in a suit, he should have just let his body guard deal with her, a real man never puts his hands on a woman, he is probably abusing Beyonce behind closed doors, etc. Even more disturbing is folks are looking for a reason as to why she went off like that, he must have provoked her and therefore her reaction is warranted in their world view. I wonder if they were asking what Rihanna did when Chris Brown went off on her and did it matter. Hmmm. Food for thought. Like you said equal until the rent is due.
you are rite. i hear that on the view (read my earlier post on the view) and cnn what did jay say to her. its no different from when a man cheat he is a dog...when a woman cheat the man made her (in other words women are nt in charge of themselves).
Media, especially reality tv, has made being ghetto fashionable. Watch any one of those "Real Housewives" shows & see how ratchet they can get. And they are supposedly the money/cream of the crop level individuals..........
:smt038:smt038:smt038 Exactly! The double standards when it comes to female-on-male violence have always annoyed me. It shouldn't (and doesn't) matter if Jay is bigger and stronger than she is. Unless it's for self-defense adults shouldn't be putting their hands on other adults, period.
Word bro, truly a bunch of disgusting ratchetness being normalized to the least common denominator. Scary thing is some women are watching these shows and think its cool being a thot. Its what paases for so called entertainment on television today.
It would seem pretty straightforward in the vein of equal rights of the sexes, but double standards persist. When a man puts his hands on a woman, no one would be allowed to engage in victim blaming and suggestions of she did something to piss him off.
Unfortunately its macho culture at its worst and sadly its fucking instinctual. Women love the perception of an alpha male yet want said dudes to be obedient when in their presence. No different than a puppy.
Gotta make money some way. If that way badly influences young black men, so be it. How'd ya know I listen to Metallica, Miss Cleo?
There would be no 'Love And Hip Hop' if there wasn't any Hip Hop music to begin with. You can't have your cake and eat it too.
*SIGH* What does Hip Hop music have to do with all the other fucked up bullshit in American society?? So America was fine & dandy before the rise of Hip Hop music? Weren't people saying the exact same thing about Rock & Roll before Hip Hop ever came along?
