Double Standard???

The cynic in me is wondering how this situation with Tiger Woods would have played out had the roles been reversed. No, I really don’t care if he was stupid enough to cheat on his beautiful wife. No, I really don’t care if their marriage in on the rocks because of it – but consider, gentle reader, just exactly how the media and the police would be treating this had the tables been turned. Consider if it was the WIFE who had plowed into a tree because Tiger had chased HER out of the house with a golf club, and broke the rear window of her car, etc, etc, etc.

Oh, yeah. No free pass there, right? Go to jail, do not pass go, do not collect $200, and the mainstream media drags you through the mud like they did to Chris Brown (and deservedly so).

Just to prove my point, how many of you are aware that Rhianna was seen to be assaulting Brown with her stiletto heels and slapping his face just seconds before he snapped and choked her? I’m not excusing his actions, but don’t you think that if HE gets destroyed for being a DV aggressor, that SHE ought to also, especially considering that SHE started the physical altercation?

And don’t give me that crap about girls being smaller and weaker than boys. A girl with a stiletto heel or a pissed wife with a 9 iron can do plenty of damage, thanks very much. (Besides, Tiger and Chris are both kind of girly, anyway).

This Goober doesn’t understand why people can’t just walk away… it is simple. Just. Walk. Away.

When it comes to cases of domestic violence that reach the legal system, the man always loses and the woman is always the victim, no matter what the facts are. That's the way the legal system is geared. Of course, there are some exceptions here and there, but they are just that, exceptions to the rule.

I read today that their pre-nup agreement says she gets $300 MIL!! Not bad. It also said that he made $1 BILLION in 2009. What a country.
