Who Abuse Women More, Liberal or Conservative Men?

By Selwyn Duke

"Is that all you got, George?” “You punch like a sissy,” Muhammad Ali said, taunting George Foreman during their 1974 heavyweight title fight. Little did anyone know, however, that Ali’s words were stinging women like a bee, making violence against them more likely. That’s a theory, anyway, disgorged by football commentator James Brown on CBS’ 9/11 pre-game show while addressing the Ray Rice domestic violence incident.

As most now know, Rice was seen on a February 15 Atlantic City hotel surveillance video striking his then-fiancée, Janay Palmer, knocking her unconscious. These actions, not surprisingly, earned him an indefinite suspension by the National Football League.

They’ve also brought to light the indefinite suspension of common sense in America. And perhaps the most ridiculous reaction to the Rice incident was Brown’s aforementioned remedy, which, he said, involves “an ongoing, comprehensive education of men about what healthy, respectful manhood is all about.” He then continued, “Our language is important. For instance, when a guy says, ‘You throw the ball like a girl,’ or, ‘you're a little sissy,’ it reflects an attitude that devalues women. And attitudes will eventually manifest in some fashion.”

The only way to decrease, and only that, decrease, domestic violence is raising strong men and women.
The man sure of himself and his position as leader does not harm the weak.
The strong woman does not need to compete with the strong man for the leadership role, nor feels threatened by what makes us different.
I am deeply proud of throwing a ball like a woman, to punch like a woman (only with my eyes), to walk, sit, stand, talk and think like a woman, especially when a MAN is able to recognize me as such and treat me accordingly.

"So instead of worrying about schoolyard “throw like a girl” taunts, perhaps society would be better served if we mainstreamed and made most damning another taunt: “You think like a liberal.”"

The flaw in this logic is that liberals do not think - they emote. I suppose that one could apply what Dr. Thomas Sowell refers to as "stage one thinking" to the modern liberal, but scratch the surface a little and what you find is empty-headednes and emotionality.
