Men’s Group Wants Rihanna To “Woman-Up” On Hitting Brown

We didn’t even know this group existed before a few days ago. Read their statement and weigh in on the topic:
From the National Coalition For Men website:
LOS ANGELES/EWORLDWIRE/Nov. 5, 2009 — Pop singer Rihanna recently made a widely publicized statement to Glamour Magazine that she wants to “shed light on the reality of domestic violence.” The National Coalition For Men (NCFM) calls on Rihanna to discuss her own reported violence against Brown as well if she wants to shed light on the problem honestly.
According to court records and other sources, Rihanna struck Brown in the face “numerous times” before Brown assaulted her (’http://news.ninemsn.com.au/entertainment/768865/rihanna-hit-chris-brow…’). NCFM purports although that would not justify his more severe assault, her violence should not be ignored, and if she does not “woman up” to it then her message will be the usual one-sided double standards that leave female perpetration covered up.
The saying, “There is no excuse for domestic violence,” applies to both sexes. Female violence in relationships is not rare but is often hypocritically deemed acceptable or humorous, such as in the film, Sideways. It is part of the cycle of domestic violence, which cannot be stopped without addressing the problem honestly. Children are damaged just by witnessing domestic violence, regardless of its severity.

« Previous 1 ... 4 5 6PRINCE_DEJOUR-I agree with you and I just wanted you to know that in my state the rate of violence acts go to the women. I see so many cases like this and dealing with the fact that my brothers and cousin are real men and they try to walk away and do the right thing and there wife/girlfriend beat them even more or cut them one…the law look at them as if they done somethig wrong and thats where-I had the problem with the law. Even-thou its different now-I believe the rates may have be off because the law didn’t see the men as a victim-back then. Either way the men nor women should act violent toward eachother or there children. Its sad to know that this is the real world we live in and things like this happen to children,women,and men. Onces again-I agree with you and you hit it on the head with the end part…lol.
When I was in grammar and high school, Where I lived in Chicago and like many urban areas in states like NY, LA, Detroit, VA, DC, Baltimore and some areas down south average 7, 8, 9 hundred murders a year. Today these areas average around 5 or 6 hundred. It has been proven that men are more prone to be violent then women. The majority of these murders were done by males who murdered other males, and then males that murdered women. If you look it up I believe that women are more prone to be violent against kids and other women then against men. The cheating and being jealous problems
For every story someone mentions about a women abusing a man, I can remember at least eight where women are abused or murdered. So no women don’t abuse men at the same rate as men abuse women. It really is not even close. Violence is never good; be it man, woman, or child. The point I’m trying to make is that women do not have to hit or attack a man for him to be violent against her. That stuff about men voices not being heard and the law does not favor them, Men are the stronger of the two sexes so I suggest they leave. You need to know the history of this country to really understand. For a long time women had to fight for equal rights because they where looked at as second class citizens and basically property. To be seen and not heard from, to be in the kitchen barefoot and pregnant. Yes men are prone to be more violent then women. The truth is that women do not abuse men at the same rate. Now women and kids is another issue.
PRINCE_DEJOUR NO DISRESPECT and I UNDERSTAND and I AGREE with where YOU are coming FROM. Don’t you BELIEVE these SAME things HAPPEN to MEN too? Its NOT fair NOR is it RIGHT to UPHOLD one and NOT the OTHER. Violence is Violence NOMATTER whos HAND it come FROM. I can only SPEAK for MYSELF in the CASES I have SEEN. I DO NOT BELIEVE a MAN nor WOMAN should COME to the POINT where THEY hurt EACHOTHER and ITS no real GUARANTEE that-if either one…take out a restraining order that it will make things better or worst…nor is walking away sometime a choice or option. Its so many cases where men really DIE at the HANDS of a WOMAN. And there VOICES are not HEARD as LOUD as a WOMAN and the LAW itself DON’T sometime HELP nor PROTECT or even BELIEVE it happen. (ONCE AGAIN NO DISRESPECT-JUST WANT TO KNOW YOUR INPUT.)
I just would like to know if your Mother, Sister, Cousin, Aunt, Grandmother or Daughter gets into an argument with a friend or their spouse and they overreact and slap or hit him for cheating, lying or whatever. It is then okay for that man to beat your relative to the point that she is in the hospital, died or whatever?
TRUE EVENTS:
There was a white man who lived in Boston about ten years ago who took his pregnant wife to a crime ridden area shot and killed her and his unborn child. Then he tried to blame the crime on black men. There is a white police officer in IL that murdered two of his four wives, they have not found the body of the last one. During an argument a black man kicked the mother of his son in the back after an argument. His son was not strapped in the car seat she was carrying and fell to the ground from a third floor apartment. There is another black man about three years ago who hit his wife thirty times with a 2 by 4 while her kids where in the house. The doctor said she had to have suffered greatly before she died. Another black man was dating this young lady, she decided to end things he kept harassing her she was in the process of filing a restraining order on him. Soon after he found out about the restraining order he decided to go up to her church and while she was in a car talking with her friend he shot her multiple times which led to her death. Eddie Curry who plays in the NBA, the lawyer for the mother of his two kids started dating her. I believe the mother was going to get a new lawyer so for some reason this black man decided to murder his ex girlfriend and one of Eddie Curry’s kids. There was another white man who drove his wife and kids to an isolated area then he shot and killed all of them. He told the police that his wife started shooting the kids and he stopped her be fore she had the chance to kill him.
The point I’m trying to make is that women don’t have to hit a man for him to beat her or kill her it happens all the time. And just because someone else does something stupid does not mean that we as human being should stoop to their level.
been sayin this!
real shi* she needs to woman up on that for real…if she sat there and hit him in the face a few times…he could of just put her as* out on the side of the road but there is only so much a person can take…if it was me being hit in the face i would go nuts
Thank you “trisha_369″ on the comment I made a few days back!! I wish lawmakers and authority figures read these columns and posts to see the REAL truth out here on these issues. See how the real people feel.
If its okay to hit a woman back,is it okay to hit your momz back? Why is it acceptable to make an example of your woman? And how many killa ninja broads are really out here beaten up all these n!gg@$? How come most abused women hardly ever snap and beat their men, yet Chris was supposedly abused? He said his mother was abused so I guess she deserved it right?
Wait aren’t men on average stronger then women kind of sissy boyz are theze git’a fukk aada hee’uh
I think she lied in the interview about them drinking that night to, but nonetheless, she should not hit him and he should not hit her.
I agree with you brownsuga2001 and I want too see that happen as well.
I SO AGREE WITH THIS NOW SOMEONE PLEASE TALK ABOUT CHILD SUPPORT…. WOMAN NEVER HAVE TO PAY THE CRAZY AMOUNTS MEN HAVE
ITS A/B TIME SOMEBODY SAID SUMPTIN BOUT HER PART..I AGREE 100%
I completely agree
good luck wait on her to fess up Im sure Jay-Z bycht a** told her not to.This was a good time to speak on the subject of woman thinking its okay to speak and hit a man like they are one ,but cry foul when they get theiur a** beat,women nor men should be physically or verbally abusing each other and Rihanna should have been charged that night too.
NOBODY should be putting hands on each other…..yet Chris Brown is labled an a*****e now, but Rianna hit on hime several times and the press didn’t grilled her; that’s the media for ya going against the Black men…can you say BIASED????? I know you could……
i agree with da group erbody blamin chris for chin checkin rihanna but nobody ever wonder why he would have to do it. this chicks be worse wen it c** to hittin on their man. punchin on a man is one thing trying to hurt a nigga b***h u gon get ur s**t split
it’s good that a group can actually stand to the guy’s aid when he has been castigated all this while something that happened as a reaction to some other action. i don’t believe rihanna is the right person to start acting like some martyr from heaven when she only got what she sowed. it’s crazy! what kind of drab story does she want to tell now? she should just keep her s**tty mouth shut! finito!
Well you know if you push someone they will retaliate I thought that the fight was b/c Rihanna was cheating on him with a rasta and got herpes and gave it to chris and then at the same time Rihanna was made with Chris about their friend Paris Hilton but she says she was going thru his phone and confronted him about a girl something doesnt add up b/c I thought she took the first blow at Chris.
I did expect Rihanna to be more honest about the chain of events that night. She painted Chris to be a monster and put him on blast. However, her eyes clearly show she still loves him. I just don’t believe all that she reported took place in a tiny sports car. I hope one day Chris could be open and honest enough to tell what exactly happened to prevent others from making the same mistake.
Honestly, I believe if both want to publicize what happened they need to tell the truth and own up to their own actions. I just don’t understand how anyone can get so angry that they have to put their hands on someone when their life has not been threatened. This goes on every day in our communities. It’s not a Black, White,or Hispanic problem. Violence is color blind, ageless, and sexless. There are just some people who believe fighting is the key to problem solving while others think it makes them stronger or shows someone loves them. If people can’t start being honest with themselves why should we expect them to be honest with their peers. I would like both women and men who have initiated domestic violence to be honest about what triggers physical force to be the resolution for the issue at hand (i.e. argument)?
