Are Men And Women Equal? The Ray Rice Test.

[seer]

Let's try a test. There is a video, Ray Rice is in a heated discussion with another man as they enter an elevator. The other man slaps Rice in the face and spits on him, Ray pushes him away to the far side of the cab. But the other man aggressively comes back at Ray and Ray clocks him, and knocks him out. Would that have even been news worthy? Would Ray have been kicked out of the NFL? The answer is obvious. But wait, haven't we been told, time and time again by the Feminazis, that women are equal to men in all aspects? So why the unequal treatment for Ray?

It's the feminist double standard. Plain and simple.

Ray gets convicted of assault. News at Eleven.

He was charged with aggravated assault against his fiance, seer. It seems like you just have a bone to pick with people who want men and women to be equal.

[Teallaura]

A pro ball player would almost certainly get headlines KO'ing some guy - and possibly charges, too. There is a double standard, but this is a poor case study to illustrate it.

[KingsGambit]

Let's not neglect one obvious factor here: The size disparity between the two people. Rice's fiancee was obviously not much of a physical threat. Let's not pretend he was realistically performing any semblance of self defense here.

That, too.

I think I agree with both of these.

You can want in one hand, and spit in the other, and see which fills up first.

Say the second man in the cab was smaller? I seriously doubt that Ray would have been charged, he certainly would not have lost his job.

But it is obvious that they are not equal, at least not in practice. We all know that if it was a man that attacked Ray, even a smaller one, we would even be talking about this.

The thing is, most people are NOT feminazi, over-the-top whack jobs and they realize that women and men are different and that men should not beat women. That is why he is in trouble.

But any ball player or celebrity that hit even another man would be all over the news.

Remember Buzz Aldrin? and he was smaller than the guy he punched.

I think the key here is he knew her and it was obvious she was not a threat. How about this: What if he had punched a guy in a wheelchair?

If the other man had filed a complaint, he almost certainly would be charged. But, no, he most likely would not lose his job. Unless, of course, the other man was his boss.
