Jauronimo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 there is no double standard when it comes to a man assaulting a woman.. maybe i am old school, but i do not believe it is right under any circumstances .. There is no double standard when its ok for women to hit men and its never ok for a man to hit a woman? Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but isn't that the definition of a double standard?

Perhaps I'm old fashioned, but isn't that the definition of a double standard? my point, minus your evaluation is that is never ok to hit a woman.. i hope that clears it up, regardless of nitpicking what a "double standard" is.

Its not nitpicking. Its the definition of the term. I've understand you from the start. You believe the double standard is the correct order of business. I agree, mostly, but in extreme situations I think there are exceptions to that rule. In any event, I really doubt that the Ray Rice incident falls under one these exceptions.

Jauronimo Posted February 21, 2014 Share Posted February 21, 2014 ok.. i do realize the content and grammar police are always lurking..but a man should not hit a woman Grammar police??? In discussing whether an obvious double standard is just, you declared that there is no double standard. Thats not a technicality. I'm not calling you out on a typo or a missing comma or something completely trivial. I don't think its unreasonable to interject when the discussion starts veering into a territory where things cease to be what they most certainly are. There are limits.

OBVIOUSLY..i dont care, if my use of the term standard was incorrect, so be it, my main point was men assaulting women.. if it would make you feel better ill go back and delete my reference to "double standard" Edited February 21, 2014 by dwight in philly Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Two posts ago you expressed pride in neither knowing or caring and now you're insulted? The victim mentality is strong with this one. I took time out of my day, time which could have been spent pursuing a hobby, to help you communicate and hopefully save you from future embarrassment and this is the thanks I get? No good deed goes unpunished. Edited February 21, 2014 by Jauronimo Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

plenzmd1 Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 oy vey, not to get into this again. I am happy he is being indicted now that they did a thorough investigation. that is all anyone was saying, you had em convicted in 60 seconds, they at least investigated before making the assumptions. And, he is still innocent until proven Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FLFan Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 This goes on all the time in all classes, not just the NFL. They just happen to be under a microscope as players. Check your local booking blotter everyday. You'll see both men AND women arrested every single day for domestic. Numerous people every day, not just a couple. Just because he is "unlucky" enough to be famous, and just because it happens all the time, does not make him any less a scumbag. If a woman assaults a man then they are fair game, equal rights and equal lefts for all. Stay classey. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
