Mary J. Blige punches husband

[Jetsfan]

Mary J. Blige punched husband Kendu Isaacs in the face at her record release party at club M2 Tuesday night.

The singer slugged Isaacs, drawing blood, after she thought he was flirting with a waitress.

I'm sure, just like Chris Brown and Rhianna, that

Ms. Blige will be charged with Domestic Violence,

Kendu Isaacs will be invited on Oprah to tell his story and

this story will run every day and night for two months on all the "news" networks!

While violence is never the answer, women punching men is a lot different than men punching women. Men are stronger and can do much more harm. Women can punch men without the expectation of doing in serious harm. Men cannot do the same to women.

If my girlfriend punched me in the face, I'm pretty sure I'd be alright. If I punched my girlfriend in the face, I would destroy her.

Violence against women is bad.

Come on. It doesn't take a philosophical discussion to realize this.

Also, Rihanna was hospitalized. It wasn't just 'drawn blood.'

"She was yelling at him, 'What are you gonna do, Chris Brown me?'

Classy....

I don't know about that. There are some women that I'm pretty sure would kick my ass. Rugby chicks come to mind.

Lucille #2 was violent towards her gay husband I do believe.

She would destroy you.

Violence is wrong no matter what. I don't care if it is men against women or vice-versa, in fact, if a man is continually abused in a relationship, it makes it a lot tougher to get help because of attitudes like Weiser's and HPs.

Sometimes telling the guy to just 'man up' doesn't work.

If the situations were reversed (same end result of 'drawing blood'), this guy would be locked up right now.

It's a weird call. Weiser is definitely right, it's a lot easier for a man to hurt a woman than vice versa. But that doesn't make a woman hitting a man any less worse does it? Is that fact enough to warrant a double standard? Certainly some women could do a lot more harm than others. Do we have to start factoring injuries into the equation? That doesn't seem right either.

Can't we just say any type of domestic violence is complately wrong and never called for?

I thought injuries always factored in, in someway? I mean if you cuff your wife upside the head (leaving no mark), I don't think anyone will press charges for that if it was an isolated incident, even if you did it in front of a police officer. Yes I know that would be very very wrong to do.

You usually have to present physical evidence (bruises and lacerations), when a domestic violence case is heard for there to actually be any force behind the charges.

A small girl can cause a lot of damage (just like a small man) if they know what they are doing.

Well yes, in that understanding injuries do make the act worse or less worse. I mean if you break someone's arm it's usually a lot more violent than scratching someone. Sometimes people pull up, or think better in the middle. Some people hit once, where some people just keep attacking.

All I meant was, if you start factoring in size, and sex, and whatever, you lose sight of the real issue. That people just need to be able to control their tempers with their lovers. If it's just one strike meant the same way, it's morally no different how much damage there is. Whether your strong enough to injure someone or not.

Domestic violence is wrong. The key is expectation in my mind. Men are usually much bigger than women. When a man hits a woman, that he is much bigger and stronger than, it is more of a crime than when that same woman hits the bigger and stronger man. Why? Because the expectation of the man is that hitting her would injure her. The same cannot be true of the weaker woman hitting the man. The situation can be reversed, of course.

No, no, no......the key to hitting women is to do it with an open hand...

[HotHotHeat]

Wait, so you're saying there's double standards between men and women? I'd better sit down.

[algernon]

Wait, so your saying Mary J is a woman? I thought he she was like 'lady' gaga.

Mind=Blown.

Or with a sack of valencia oranges. It won't leave a bruise and it'll let em know who's boss.

[BuzzardsWife]

I'm sure he deserved it.

Completely false. About half of domestic violence cases are women assaulting men. Sure, a larger man can hurt a smaller women, but a kinder man will not retaliate against a violent women. There are quite sad stats on bullying from females on their male partners.

How does your statement correct my statement? All I said was it's usually worse for a man to hit a woman than vice versa. They are both domestic violence.

Modern society makes me sad.
