In regards to Chris Brown being a misogynist asshole, I certainly have a lot of thoughts. Typically, I have a zero tolerance policy for men who hit women, unless, of course said women are asking for it or if you've already established a safe word with your partner (for future reference, mine fluctuates between Olivia Benson and Cinnamon, depending on how I'm feeling).
I'm not going to contribute anything new to this conversation about Chris Brown and his freak out at "Good Morning America" last week. His visceral violent reaction to things isn't shocking though it is a bit disheartening. Chris Brown comes across as not being self-conscious of how he's perceived because famous rappers have come to his defense, who are often misogynist in their own right. As a society, we love an epic redemption story, and it seems that for famous men that abuse women, we give them a free pass. Chris Brown and Charlie Sheen's tiger blood exempt them from public scrutiny or backlash.
In all honestly, in the past two years, Chris Brown has been known more for hitting Rihanna than his music. Let's not forgot that his punishment consisted of community service and anger management classes, which I'm not sure are working exactly. He wasn't even sent to jail! So, if Robin Roberts, a journalist, wants to say, "Hey, Chris Brown, you haven't physically abused a woman in a while...why not?" then ask it. I want Chris Brown to be uncomfortable and dance (get it? Because he's a good dancer, guys) around the question.
The Chris Brown thing, I can turn a blind eye to, but I'm just disappointed in ABC (for the Grey's Anatomy musical episode, for canceling Pushing Daisies) but also for how they passively dealt with the situation. Instead of banning him from future shows or even publicly flogging him, they welcomed him back, letting him get away with his deviant behavior.
Chris Brown, what a droog.
I just want us to be done with Chris Brown. We have Bruno Mars now, and he only has a cocaine habit. And from what I can tell, he would catch a grenade for me instead of throwing it at me for looking at his text messages.
