She wanted more attention from a top football player, so out came boiling water

Article here. Excerpt:

'The college career of FIU senior tight end Jonnu Smith, the team’s premier offensive player over his four seasons and easily the Panthers’ best 2017 NFL Draft prospect, ended on Halloween when his girlfriend doused him with boiling water. According to the arrest affidavit, Smith suffered severe burns on his head, neck, back, a shoulder and an arm.

Miami Gardens resident Mary Gaspar, five months pregnant with Smith’s child, was charged with aggravated battery. Gaspar entered a not guilty plea. She’s been released on a pretrial release order.

The early 2017 NFL Draft projections have Smith as a late-round pick or undrafted free agent. He made the midseason John Mackey Award (best college tight end) watch list in 2014 and 2015, and the preseason Mackey Award watch list in 2015 and 2016.

According to the arrest affidavit, Gaspar gave this account at Florida International University police headquarters:

The two argued through the day over the attention Smith was paying to her and their relationship. While in Smith’s dorm room and “feeling extremely emotional and stressed,” she told police, she boiled a pot of water. Then, she walked over to Smith and poured it on him.'

I simply cannot believe the comment section on the article. It's about 50/50 - 50% supportive of the victim of the crime, 50% containing victim-blaming, completely inappropriate jokes, and mental gymnastics to defend the perpetrator (including one post by a "feminist" who wants to know what he did to "provoke her", and another by a tradcon who thinks that criticizing the vile thug is "[holding] a woman down" and "sexist".)

I suppose this shouldn't be surprising, seeing that people lose their crap when a man who is physically provoked by an attempted attack strikes back and ends up knocking out his female attacker. Ray Rice anyone?

This article shows that even when a man does not defend himself, does not provoke a woman, and does nothing other than receive abuse from a woman, he is still somehow viewed as being in the wrong by about half of people. Taking the beating like a good slave still isn't good enough.

Wow. I'm very grateful the MRM exists. It's clearly necessary.
