OK, the tsunami of getting the kids up, cleansed, fed, and off to school has me all muddled. Is that why I can make neither heads nor tails of this NRO piece (courtesy of Salon’s Broadsheet)?
If I understand this correctly (re: Chris Brown and Rihanna), the ‘argument’ is that feminism has deprived women of their supposed ‘special status’ in society (cuz pre-bra burning, women were never brutalized), such that men don’t know how to behave (i.e. maybe hitting women is ok?)
According to Kathryn Jean Lopez, the editor of NRO, “There’s something off when so many people blame the victim, not the aggressor.”
Hmmm. Might that ‘something’ be sexism? As Theodoric of York would conclude: Naaaaah.
If you want to understand how people who have sold their souls to a particular way of making a living live with themselves, read those links.
