Somebody, please help me understand....
I have asked the question on many occasions; "What would you do if you caught your man in bed with another woman?" And I have received answers, with varying levels of anger and violent images.
Anything from, "I'd go Mam Ruby/ Babe Ruth on them both and whip them both with a stout stick" to "I'd go boil some water and give them a little steam surprise." MANY talk about "slicing his man parts off!" I know
I can see some of you nodding in agreement to these and other such drastic responses.
Getting away from the theoretic; I have also asked about some of the craziest things you have done when cheated on and also received responses from stabbing tyres, destroying property to actual beat downs that you gave to both the men and women who crossed them.
And once again, I heard nothing but applause and praise from you all, as these stories were being told.
I have seen some nasty images of people after they have been beaten up for being caught cheating. I saw a picture, recently of a girl who was sliced with a razor all over her face because she slept with her best friend's man.
And still some people sort of felt empathy for the girl who got cheated on. And felt, in a way, that the "victim" brought it on herself.
Now....let me get to the crux of the matter. When people are on their moral high horse, I have heard them all say; "There is absolutely no justifying abuse!" "Any man who beats up a woman should be killed." "Nobody could ever MAKE you raise your hand to them. Why didn't you just walk away?"
That sounds like a double standard if ever there was one. Especially when ALL these statements come from the very same people and they get equal amounts of applause.
Surely the same rule should apply right across the board? Shouldn't we say "This is the rule, end of story." Why are women allowed to pour boiling hot oil on their cheating lover's genitals, while men dare not even slap their cheating girlfriends?
I can already here some of you saying that men abuse women a lot more than women do men, in general. But the point is, when did two wrongs ever make a right? Sounds no different to saying "It is ok for black people to be racist towards white people, but not the other way round because white people have been doing it for too long."
Two wrongs can never make a right. We should ALL walk away, no matter how angry somebody makes you. And no matter what your gender.
