I have been seeing a lot of posts like this lately, and quite frankly it’s starting to irritate me. It is true politicians, as well as police officers are less likely to lose employment over domestic violence issues.
Although I agree that there is a huge double standard here, I am questioning whether the men who are posting think that all these men including Rice need to get fired for hitting women, or that if the politicians, and policeman did not get fired, Rice should not get fired either.
I am going to assume that it is the latter of the two for the majority of men posting these types of memes.
The NFL did try to throw Ray Rice under the bus in order to try and save their image. Although they got caught, does that make Ray Rice any less wrong for hitting a woman?
I think the bigger issue is ignored. All these men that use physical violence against women to express themselves are wrong, and that’s what gets lost when memes like this are posted.
I am not sure what the penalty should be, but I lean more towards a zero tolerance, but do not totally cut them off, stance. Provide help for men and women in those situations.
The bigger issue is that men need to keep their hands off of women.
