I am not a regular S2S subscriber but I pick it up every now and then. A week ago I picked up the magazine and read the article about you going to Chris Brown's concert and having a great time with him and his mom. I'm not a Chris Brown fan but I read the article anyways. I was deeply disturbed when you mentioned the incident with Rihanna. You explained how you got out of an abusive relationship and went on to say that you do not condone domestic violence "but...". You talked about how you also don't agree that some women may instigate violence. This is true, it is wrong for a woman to be violent toward her partner. I kind of felt that you stressed this a little too much....almost to the point of making an excuse for Chris Brown. Domestic violence is never the answer. A woman is wrong to hit her partner but never ever deserves to be beaten. I think you should have stressed the point that Rihanna was severely beaten and Chris Brown is to blame....not 50% to blame....not 75% to blame....100% to blame for his actions just as she is 100% to blame for her actions.

In agreement
I could not agree with you more. Forgiveness should not be automatic, it should be earned. If someone goes to the drive thru and the clerk shorts them by a dollar, does that give them the right to say, "I've been robbed, I now have the right to rob them back", and go and pistol whip them and steal the contents of the cash register? Domestic violence is wrong no matter who instigates it, and women can be mean, but letting men off the hook when they overreact not only keeps women weak, it weakens our men, who don't learn that there are other ways to handle their business besides using their fists.
