Stephen A. Smith catching hell on twitter right now from his own Colleague at ESPN

That double standard is the exact problem. NEITHER party should put hands on the other one. fukk how society views it. Society has been wrong plenty of times. For him to get attacked so fervently over saying let's not judge the situation until we learned exactly what happened from both parties is ridiculous. No man should have to sit their and take physical violence just because he's a man. Women need to keep their hands to themselves as well.

I've had two females try to get violent with me. One was living with me and I just jumped in my car and drove away until I cooled down. The other I snatched up by her neck just as a pure reaction and chilled a second later and put her down before it turned ugly. In the heat of the moment sometimes you react without thinking. Especially if somebody is hitting you man or woman.

It seems people are on the tip of the man is wrong regardless and acting like those disagreeing are saying that the man is never wrong. No. I have yet to see somebody say that they are cool with a dude just beating a women's ass cause her clothes are too revealing or no shyt like that. But if a woman is punching a man or spitting on him or doing some crazy shyt then I have absolutely no sympathy for what she gets back in return.

That's why I think its dangerous to give women the impression that under no circumstances should a man ever hit them. Its nothing they can do to provoke violence. Not even being violent themselves should provoke violence from a man. A woman thinking that is putting her life in danger. All men don't have the restraint u displayed.

No offense breh, but ur crazy as fukk. Almost die because you won't check a beastie brehs. I hate violence, period but there's a point when you have to defend urself. At least restrain her.

i agree with restraining. nothing is wrong with restraining a woman.

 

[NoMoreWhiteWoman2020]

No, there is no justification for domestic violence, period. This notion that men have to maintain their composure during domestic disputes while women are free to fly off the handle is potentially dangerous to all parties involved and inherently sexist. Despite our advantage in raw physical strength, we are no more naturally capable of regulating our emotions than women are; all evidence to the contrary is the result of socialization. Women are taught to believe that they are more emotional and behave as such. The only way to achieve the gender equality that feminists claim to fight for is to stop treating women like they are tall children.



While I am sorry that you had to go through such an ordeal, why does being complicit (at least for a time) in your own domestic battery make you more of a man? After reading about your father's reaction to your situation, your attitudes on this topic make more sense.

being complicit does not make you a man; knowing that you are above such bullshyt and not stooping to that level with that woman is what makes you a man.

 

[Tony D'Amato]

All I asked you was to provide YOUR experience in telling cats how to carry themselves like you did. No one can do a better job of telling their own experience than that person himself. Yet you rather speak on the reckless experiences of others than your own who claims to carry himself properly ok never hitting a woman.

This thread isnt a what would u do in this situation thread, is it? I was under the impression that Stephen A's comments were the topic. Provocation was the topic. Im not quite sure whose wreckless experiences Ive spoken on.

My experiences are I wanted to hit the bish. I could justify in my mind doing it. In my mind she deserved to get hit. In my situation. Becuz of my experiences I believe in provocation. That there are things a woman can do to prvoke her beating. I believe "Domestic Violence" isnt as simple as people pretend it is. Questions should be asked. At times there is a story involved. All domestic violence isnt some angry bully picking on the weak. IMO. In those situations, the dude is a bish.

I dont know how I can be more clear breh.

You're better served telling dudes how to carry themselves like you did rather than riding for this "I understand" bs. Enough of us have gone through shyt where we've received the bad end of the stick. When I got locked up for defending myself and was sitting in a cell at the police precent telling the cops what really happened about shorty attacking me, the cop looked at me, shook his head and said "you won't win because you don't have this:

mimicking a p*ssy.

We need to teach our boys how to avoid being in these situations rather than riding for cats to do the opposite. If you're a dude that's avoided it, do niqqas a services and tell them to follow your example. That "living through other niqqas" shyt is for the birds.

 

[mozichrome]

This fat head bytch Jemele Hill always has to chime in and give her worthless two cents anytime there is a situation or indecent involving a female.

her two cents worthless because she not riding with u dudes and echoing the same sentiments huh

 

[philmonroe]

the bolded is problematic breh. if you feel provoked by a woman you should leave the woman/situation immediately. there is no justification for male on female domestic violence, NONE.
My real father was an abusive husband/father, and there is a lot of elements that go into why women stay in those situations. she needs counseling, and RRice needs to go to counseling also.

See that added paragraph is why you have the cap on and I can understand that but everybody doesn't have your upbringing. I'm in the keep it simple camp stop all this men shouldn't shyt make it people shouldn't put their hands on you and we have a deal. I'm tired of grown people being treated like children in these situations. They don't need to be coddled.

No, it comes off as you being a battered partner while trying to rationalize said status under the veneer of masculinity. I don't mean to insult you, but I'm sure that you could have reported her to the authorities before she beat you with a lead pipe like she was Scott Steiner. Your situation is the perfect example of what many of us have been trying to illustrate. That woman took for granted the fact that you would take her abuse and so it continued to escalate to a point where you could have lost your life. I'm personally not advocating that you take the woman's head off; it would have been far more prudent to leave the situation and report her to the police sooner. fukk being a "man". Be logical.

 

[G.O.A.T Squad Spokesman]

the issue was bigger than michelle beadle ... his colleagues, rivals, tons of high profile blogs and media outlets were coming for his neck. Those things get the attention of advertisers. Which can hurt espn ... which can jeopardize his job

Why didn't they come for his neck when he said this?



Beadle is responsible for this fallout.

as men, we dont have the resources that women have when it comes to this shyt. i tried talking to my mom- she said pray about it. real dad- laugh at me. even the police that arrested her made light of the situation.

men should learn to speak out more about f-m dv, but how can you do that while maintaining some form of pride in this uber-macho society we live in? we as men should speak up on this topic, and allow men to speak on this topic without fear of being ridiculed, or being called a bytch.

Unemployed negros will always find a way to give you advice on how to 'Keep it Real' and end up unemployed like that.

The same dudes in here talking bout he shouldn't have apologized are the same ones who says 'How High' if their boss walks in at their job and says jump.

If you dont think you will be forced to do some shyt you may not agree with in the corporate world .. and u think thats called selling out. Why even get a job?

Just go the dame dash route and go independent that you can be ur boss in life.

Not true at all. Just because you don't know how to stand your ground doesn't mean others cant or wont.

Yeah I agree dude come off like a

trying to justify it to yourself and I think you know that too. I think you need to get help for that on some real shyt. You can't let chicks be doing that to you fam and believe me that chick know she could do that to you that's why she did it. Similar to how Ron Artest was crazy till it was Ben Wallace then he sat his happy ass down until it was a small fan that threw that drink. You never want to be that guy folks think they can get off on you like some of,these chicks did female or not.
