Ask anyone & they’ll say the same. So why then is society so hypocritical & sexist when it comes to domestic abuse?
Case in point: Tiger Woods’ wife Elin Nordegren allegedly beat his ass with a golf club when he crashed his car. That week, Saturday Night Live had a skit centered around that fact. In fact, right now it’s the featured clip on the homepage. Guess how much uproar there was? Absolutely none. Everyone thought a woman beating on a man with a metal stick was hilarious.
The Jersey Shore had a clip in their closing credits of a woman getting punched. As a result, there was a bunch of people on the Internet saying the show was offensive (yes, I know, that doesn’t really count as a news source), sponsors pulled their advertisements, and women’s right activists got all riled up.
Am I the only one that noticed this blatant sexism. I swear – some days it’s just not worth being part of society.
I have been deliberately NOT following whatever is going on with Tiger Woods, but I agree: it is NOT okay to hit/injure your partner. PERIOD.
