Does Hitting Women Make You More Of A Man?
Roissy thinks that Chris Brown beating Rihanna makes him an “Alpha.” Writes Roissy:
Alpha isn’t always “amused mastery” or grace under pressure. Sometimes, in fact a lot of times, it’s a flying flurry of fists to the face, in the case of Rihanna leaving its demon mark as shadow horns on its victim AKA enabler.
The post then descends into a desperate and masturbatory pursuit of page views.
My favorite response to Roissy, from Uncommon Priors:

Obviously, this is no good. But after Long faults the group of men, the unsympathetic bartender, and the cops, she turns to an unsuspecting target of blame for violence against women: Barack Obama. Long details why Obama may be to blame for her friend’s battered face:
