I really need to quick address something I heard this a.m. on Q101. The D.J.'s were talking about Steve McNair being shot by his Mistress, and they posed the question about weather or not it is now safe to date 20 something women for listeners to call in.
For those of you who have not heard the story McNair was sleeping with another woman who shot him several times before taking her own life over the 4th of July.
The people who called in were relentless saying that all these girls want to do is party and go on vacations, and its fun at first, but they have no concept of a work ethic. And eventually a man gets tired of "parenting" them. The second caller said that everything the first caller said was true, but his girlfriend was just out of control in bed. Which was met by a round of applause, and cheers. GAG!!
FACT: In 2005, 1,181 women were murdered by an intimate partner. That's an average of three women every day. Of all the women murdered in the U.S., about one-third were killed by an intimate partner.
FACT: 32% of women raped are between the ages of 12 and 17. 64% of women who reported being raped, physically assaulted, and/or stalked since age 18 were victimized by a current or former husband, cohabiting partner, boyfriend, or date.
FACT: Men perpetrate the majority of violent acts against women (DeLahunta 1997).
FACT: Every two minutes, somewhere in America, someone is sexually assaulted.

There is not a designated age for the men committing these acts of violence, so perhaps then women should just swear off all men. And the only reason this has made the news besides the fact that the victim was famous is because its strange. Women don't typically pull stunts like this, and the adverse reaction is help keep it that way. 20 something women a threat please men are more likely to be stung to death by bees which evidently cause 30 deaths each year. Find out how many men are running around with full body insect nets? Pose that question in your pipe and smoke it Q101.

I know we talked about this over the phone the other day, but now that I'm sitting here reading this, I'm becoming LIVID thinking about all of the GUYS (can't bring myself to call them men, since they hit/hurt women) that have abused someone I personally know! And all of the women I know who have physically "assaulted" a man was because they were hit first! And guess who was arrested in these situations? THE WOMAN! Granted, the cases never made it to trial, but still! These guys didn't even have the worry of this going on their records!
Jay Z said "the pussy better have the god dame sense not to push me."
Now I really do like Z. I don't think he is trying to keep a culture of fear surrounding women and their behavior. But in a way his lyric is just brining to light the truth of the matter. We get in a whole lot deeper sh**, for agression. Society is banking on us to be docile cause we are the only gender evidance that its possible. Both men and women need females to be above violent solutions. Counter attack or not we get far more than a wrist slap for things a lot of men do daily.
