i am not perfect. there have been things in the past I have done to perpetuate the system of violence and oppression against women in our society via passively or actively. Consciously, I have yet to grow to be that man who is fully committed to social justice and one day I hope to be. I also hope one day to be the man who does not allow/act out the oppression and violence against women that we see with Chris Brown and Rhianna. Although, I do not agree with much of the stance the media/facebookers/and some other artist have taken, I do believe that this is probably one of the worst times in
both of their young lives.
I also feel that we as americans simply cannot judge him until all of the fact are in. I'm sorry, but it is innocent until proven guilty.
But that doesn't mean that he should have the same privileges as others and we should be aware that although he is only accused, the mere notion of being accused is a problem and makes women who have been victims uncomfortable if they are constantly reminded of his/their incidents.
Anyway long diatribe. But if you are interested in an actual column about the incident as well as what men can do to end violence against women, check out
