re: What did Stephen A. Smith say?

You're grabbing the low-hanging fruit: crazy, violent women. Yes, if a woman attacks you, you should be able to defend yourself.

But let me show you how ridiculous your simple little equation is.

Husband makes bad business decision, loses all of family's money. Husband is pissed. Wife confronts husband and gets hit.

X = likelihood of wives getting hit who don't confront husbands

Y = likelihood of wives getting hit who do confront husbands

Y > X

Ergo, wives should never confront their husbands.

It's not as simple as you're making it out to be.

I don't care enough to keep arguing.

SAS is still a shitbird.

Don't care.

Stephen A. did not commit an act of violence. He made comments. And his comments about domestic violence itself were completely in line; he had nothing less than awful things to say of the men who commit violent acts against women.

The comments he made that drew ire were the comments that criticize some women for being assholes. That's the drama that was created out of thin air. You cannot deny that his message was that we need to do away with the animals who commit violent acts (especially those against women) and that while we're at it, it wouldn't hurt if some women took some reasonable measures in the spirit of looking out for themselves, and any drama resulting from those comments is completely manufactured by people looking for drama. boom roasted's response was that textbook "So a woman deserves to be hit if she mouths of to her husband? Got it." drama bullshite I'm talking about. These people are either dishonest or they're stupid enough to have been confused by that dummy Stephen A. Smith.

At any rate, there is nothing wrong with what he said, and there is nothing complicated with what he said. If you have an issue with someone expressing the belief that men who hit women deserve swift, hard punishment, and that some women could stand to work on how they treat people, then the issue is yours and yours alone, and nobody else needs to be fired on account of your need for drama.

Women can be crazy and use the woman card to their advantage. If a woman goes for eyes or balls a mans instinctive response may be to lash out. If that man is a conditioned pro athlete that lash maybe result in a KO.

And I'll therefore take Smith's comments even further.

Men, don't hit.
Women, don't be crazy bitches.
Men, make crazy bitches outcasts. Don't hang around them. When they're being crazy bitches, shame them instead of persist in trying to frick them. A sane 6 is more valuable than an insane 10, and she's better in and out of bed.

A woman should not talk back to a man because it might lead to her getting her arse kicked.

No, a woman should behave like a civilized human being. Doing so will mitigate her risk of being physically assaulted. Men can follow the same advice.

Agree. Some women (key word being some) probably know in their head that this guy cant hit me so i can do whatever the hell I want. Thats really the only reason i would not have a problem with what stephen a said. No one ever asks what the girl did, ever. The guy still shouldnt ever hit her, but knowing what the girl did should be taken into some consideration

Of course this is true, but Smith said nothing ambiguous. He called men who hit women "evil," and said that some women need to behave better. What's the goddamn problem?

Thats how i saw it
