A couple years ago I wrote an Article on the issue of Domestic Violence. I sought to bring a level-headed dispassionate un-emotional perspective to the debate. I found through my own experiences that many who debate the issue use it to advance their own Agendas.
Whether it be Feminists, Psychologists, or band-waggonists seeking to make a name on the back of women’s issues I am convinced the issue is not as black and white as many of the most intemperate hypocrites would have you believe.
To be clear men are generally stronger than women.We should always seek to protect our women. As a Christian I am charged to love and cherish my wife as the weaker sex , she is worthy and deserving of my love and protection. This protection should spread as the ripples in a Brook to other women, hence the protection of all women is guaranteed.
Absent from this debate is the factual reasoning that Society has been on a fast track toward eliminating what we were told about women. Girls are now told that they can do anything men do, they can have any job men have, they can lift as much weight as men do. As Society seeks to toughen women, it conversely does the opposite, feminizing men. Men are now staying home out of choice, while their wives go out to work. It is sometimes difficult to tell the difference between some men from women today. There was always going to be some women who are stronger and better than some men at certain tasks. Conversely there were always going to be some men who are more girly than the average woman..
The September 20 1973 Tennis débâcle between 55-year-old Bobby Riggs and Billie Jean King saw King Decimate Riggs: 6 – 4, 6 – 3, 6 – 3. This in no small way, advanced the notion that there was no difference between the sexes. Additionally disparate laws in favor of women in Industrialized Nations like the United States has literally caused some women to believe they can start fights with men and men are not supposed to react.
Throughout my experience as a law enforcement officer, when I had to deal with domestic violence it was generally the woman who started hitting on her spouse. Society does not want to acknowledge this, because it does not advance the feminist agenda. So we turn a blind eye when a woman hits on or otherwise abuse a man, we make jokes about him getting beaten, yet as soon as the man reacts he is an abusive degenerate worthy of being locked away forever. Women simply cannot have it both ways, if you do not want men to hit you , do not hit men.
Recently Beyonce’s sister Solange was seen flailing away at her brother-in-law Sean (JZ) Carter in an elevator. She was eventually restrained by Carter’s security ‚still kicking and flailing away. Now granted that Solange’s actions did not rise to the level of Rices devastating hook which literally wiped out Janay, where was the outcry from the feminist hypocrites now pontificating about the Ray Rice elevator video. All of them were conveniently silent. If we are going to talk about domestic violence we must talk about it in gender neutral terms. Lorena Bobbitt cut the Penis off her husband, she hid behind allegations of domestic violence and got away with it. The instances of women killing or otherwise mutilating their spouses are well documented, where is the outrage. How is it abuse when men does it but comedy when women do it?
At a Press Conference Janay Rice publicly stated that she apologized for the part she played in events that night. Ray Rice apologized to everyone for his thuggish behavior. The firestorm which emanated from her taking responsibility have been visceral. They ranged from allegations that she is scared, to she is just in it for the money, to ridiculous statements she was again made a victim because she actually took responsibility for her part in the events of that night. There are rumblings that there is additional video footage which shows Mrs. Rice attacking her spouse and eventually spitting in his face. No mention is made of that, no one wants to acknowledge that.
In the end what the Feminist apologists want you to believe is that Janay Rice is incapable of making decisions for herself. This reduces Janay Rice to nothing more than a talking-point for the feminist agenda. The Baltimore Ravens have now fired Rice. The NFL which had given Rice a two game suspension as well as a pre-trial intervention program has now suspended the Running back indefinitely. The piling-on has however just begun, Rutgers University has pulled murals which were installed in Rice’s honor. EA Sports the video game maker, Nike which make Billions on the backs of some of world’s poorest people has since dropped Rice. How is that for perspective. Additionally, every little Joe-blow who have a Rice Jersey has now decided to pontificate by burning the Jersey.
Seem we have seen this before, but where? Oh yeah that Guy was accused of being a part of a dog fighting ring. Janay Rice has come out swinging in defense of her husband, and correctly so. What Ray Rice did was atrocious and despicable. Oh my God how do you punch the woman you supposedly love with such brutality, such reckless and wanton disregard, how do you hit her period?
Ray Rice has apologized to his wife, Janay Rice has agreed to forgive her husband. Lets hope they follow up with christian Counselling. This will offer them introspection and help in dealing with whatever issues exists between them that resulted in such explosive anger. In addition to other statements , Janay Rice said quote: “Just know we will continue to grow & show the world what real love is!”.I am rooting for this couple. I hope and pray they can move past their previous issues and seek God, at the end of all of this the NFL, The Ravens Nike, and the critics are unimportant.The Rice’s can use this defining moment to solidify their love by seeking a Godly solution to their problems. Many of Rice’s most vociferous critics are doing much worse, they just haven’t been caught. Many of Rice’s critics never cared for him never will. They never cared for Janay Rice , never will.
Janay Rice has every right to forgive her husband. She is a human being capable of making her own decisions. Jesus chided the people who were about to stone the woman who committed adultery. “He who is among you without sin you cast the first stone”.Janay Rice has forgiven her husband. Ray will have a lot of time to think about what he did. He should use that time to work on his anger. Those who are calling for his head doesn’t care that God wants us to forgive. They do not care that their kids are better off if they work through their problems. None of this is important to the blood-thirsty hordes, Ray and Jana Rice are mere pawns on the chess-board of their radical Feminist agenda.
