You should not hit another
Regardless of the situation
But it's quite another
To say no man
Should hit another woman
Period
In this society where
Man lives with woman
Man lives with man
Woman lives with woman
All married to each other
Would Ray Rice have been
Suspended if he was gay
And hit his another male partner
And knocked him out cold?
Or is his situation much more
Serious because he hit a woman?
Do women's rights activists condone
This type of preferential treatment
When it comes to domestic violence?
Domestic violence
Whether it is physical, emotional
Or financial
Is wrong regardless of
Who the victim is
And the punishment should not be
Different just because a man
Hit a "woman"
If that is the expectation
Then man can also argue
That woman should be submissive to man
Because he is a man
What is wrong is wrong
But basing the severity solely
On the gender difference
Is also wrong
Ray Rice should pay the price
For hitting his spouse
And punishment should not be
Worse because his victim
Happens to be a woman
