First things first. I don’t know if the rumors are true. I don’t know if Tiger Wood’s statement that he just had a simple accident and there was no fight with his wife is true. I don’t know if TMZ’s account, that there was a fight over Wood’s infidelity is correct. Honestly, I couldn’t care less which is true. It’s really none of my business and has absolutely no effect on my life. People are saying “This proves Tiger Wood’s is human”. Actually, it really doesn’t. I still think Tiger Woods is some kind of golf playing cyborg sent from the future. When it comes to his personal life, of course he displays human tendencies and weaknesses. Who doesn’t? Even the T-800 displayed fatal human flaws. People need to learn to stop elevating celebrities to superhuman status. They breathe, eat, shit and fuck just like everyone else. If you somehow want to use this incident as some kind of way of taking a jab at Woods for being black and marrying a white woman…kill yourself. Let’s keep it real. If Tiger Woods was Tyrone Woodson and he wasn’t a golfing phenom but instead a mild mannered accountant…would most black woman raise holy hell if he married a white woman? Of course not. Black woman only care that Woods married a white woman, not because his wife is white, but because she gets to cash Woods’ checks and not them. Of course most of those same women wouldn’t think twice about marrying a rich white guy who pampered them. But I’ll save that case of woman hypocrisy for a later discussion.
Anyway, the real reason I’m bringing up this Tiger Woods story is that I want to talk about the hypocritical way some people, particularly women, are treating the alleged case of domestic violence compared to the Chris Brown/Rihanna case. Let’s assume for a moment that his wife Elin did swing at him with a golf club. I’m sorry, but I don’t care if Woods admitted to having a threesome with Elin’s mother AND sister as her best friend videotaped it, that does not excuse her from swinging a golf club at the man. Think about it for a minute. What Chris Brown did to Rihanna was horrible and inexcusable…but even he only used his fists (and teeth…). This woman allegedly swung a metal rod with a weighted end at another human being. That’s assault with a deadly weapon. Women are trying to excuse it because apparently Woods was cheating. Ummmm…so what? You still can’t swing a golf club at the head of your husband simply because you think he was unfaithful. Sorry, but that’s unacceptable. I can understand screaming at him. I can even understand an impulsive slap in the face. But swinging a golf club? Come on.
Even crazier are the women who think that it’s okay for a scorned woman to swing a golf club at a cheating husband but that it’s not okay if a husband retaliates and defends himself by knocking the woman out. Whoa, how does that logic work? A woman slaps me, okay, as a man who is physically stronger than her, I should know that it’s best for me to walk away. But if I’m trying to walk away and she swings a baseball bat, golf club or even a knife at me, you better believe I’m going to defend myself. Head trauma can be deadly. Even something like a frying pan to the head can cause serious damage. This isn’t something to laugh or joke about. Once a woman picks up a weapon and swings at a man, not to protect herself from him but because she got upset with him over some bullshit, the playing field is even. Come at me with bad intentions like that and no amount of Maxwell is gonna save your ass. Women can’t scream bloody murder about Chris Brown but then cheer on a woman committing assault with a deadly weapon. Not only is it hypocritical but its giving bad advice to millions of women out there. Seriously ladies, come at a man like you’re a man and don’t be surprised when he has you doing the stanky legg like Machida did to Rashad Evans.
Listen, I won’t say that hitting another human being is inexcusable. In a perfect world that would be true. In a perfect world, women wouldn’t hit men and men wouldn’t hit women. But we don’t live in a Utopian world and I won’t pretend like we do. Sometimes a person is being such an unbelievable douchebag that they deserve a punch in the nose. Take that gay dirty douche Perez Hilton and the incident he had with Will.I.Am. Was a gangland style beating necessary? No. A punch in the eye socket? Yes. If someone was to call my mother out of her name, yes, I’d punch them in the throat. If a lady is being harassed by some asshole in the club, calling her a bitch and making unwanted sexual advances, she has every right to knee him in the nuts. Yeah, in all those cases, cooler heads should prevail and the “correct” response is probably to walk away. But again, we are all human. Impulsive reactions happen. But I draw the line at obvious extremes. Beating a woman’s face in because she had the “audacity” to not have your dinner ready? Unacceptable. Swinging a weapon at your husband because you think he’s cheating? Unacceptable. Getting angry at your significant other and beating them relentlessly until their face is disfigured? Unacceptable. I understand there’s gray area. That’s why I’m not willing to label a man who pops a woman in her mouth after she tries to verbally emasculate him in public as a woman beater. Its why I understand why a woman who just caught her husband cheating on her might end up slapping him across his face. But as with everything, there’s a time when an understandable reaction goes entirely too far and becomes extreme. A golf club to the head falls into that extreme category. If women want to really take a stand against domestic violence then they should be willing to do so regardless if the agressor is a woman or a man.
