and to some females too, though mostly it’s been men:
when you feel mad at Rihanna for collaborating with Chris Brown,
incredulous that a victim could return to her abuser, just like that,
shocked that she couldn’t be BETTER than that, and STRONGER,
and outraged that one young woman couldn’t be everything you wanted her to be,
I would refer you here, because you have some reading to do.
And, remember also
that when you get mad at Rihanna for going back
and you say so around women
chances are better than you think that at least one of them is hearing:
“You, too, are a coward.”
"It really is horrifying that Kanye West got not only more flack, but a worse reputation for grabbing a microphone out of Taylor Swift’s hands and making a rude comment than Chris Brown did for beating his girlfriend until her face was unrecognizable."

Chris Brown is performing at the Grammy Awards and it’s a big fuss! I had to remind myself why so I went and looked up this old newspaper from 2009.
I attended a post-2009 Grammys Chris Brown concert with my sister, a longtime Breezy devotee. At one point he prefaced a “Single Ladies” cover by sing-songing, “Any of you girls single? I’m siiingle!” WE KNOW, CHRIS BROWN. YOU VERY PUBLICLY BEAT UP YOUR LAST GIRLFRIEND. That dude…I don’t like that dude.
