The thing is Stephen A did not say it was okay hit women, he didn't say it was a warranted action
he just said women could provoke it into happening which is true, just a man can provoke somebody into beating his ass too
if not mistaken ray rice's wife hit him first, probably embarrassed him in public, and in a fit of rage he hit her, some people can't control their rage, doesn't make it right, its just a fact
There are men out here who do not give a fukk and will knock a Women's Teeth Out with no remorse, not everybody is a stand up individual, so women should not go pushing buttons thats all he was saying, he wasn't excusing the behavior
