Geraldo Rivera defends assault on Tiger Woods

"Men" who keep excusing the actions of women's violence, as noted in this interview, continue to perpetuate the notion that such violence is acceptable. It's no wonder that women feel justified and act with impunity in such situations. "Men" support them!

As has been noted before, men are their own worst enemy. But, why do they do say things like this? To get "brownie" points from their girlfriends/spouses or EXes? Is it out of fear of having to sleep on the couch if they even implied otherwise?

On one hand, I can understand and agree with Rivera's point - that the woman has a reason to be angry. However, if the genders were reversed, no one would sympathize with the man or accept any violence on this part.

A few months ago there were news reports regarding a banker in the UK that murdered his wife, because she was having an affair. I'll make no excuses for such conduct, particularly as it involves murder, but the headlines always referred to him as a "very jealous" husband. The story repeatedly cast him in a negative light as being 'extremely protective and jealous.' Not a single time was there any sympathy expressed toward him because of his wife's unfaithfulness.

Again, men are expected to "man up," 'suck it up,' or 'grow balls.' Women, on the other hand, are expected to complain, injure, or even murder.

I always had a nagging feeling that he was a loser. Now there is no doubt!

Maybe he can get Joe Biden to get his dominatrix little sister to give him a good going over? Sick fu*k!

So help me, each day I get sicker by the moment by men trying to come off as "heros" for the ladies. Geraldo is no exception. I've watched this son of a bitch on previous shows verbally scourging young men for cheating or in someway behaving in ways not in agreement to the feminist zeitgeist of our times. I recall his reaction to the Duke University incident where he cast his guilty verdict on these young men before hearing all of the facts. What bothers me most about this jerk "journalist" is he has married five times and divorced for having inumerable affairs. Along with that he too was a victim of false accusation of rape by Bette Midler. You would think he'd show some restraint of judgement given his past. A bonafide asshole. Sorry folks but it's the way I feel.

It is obvious.

Rivera is not a "clean ex-cheater", he's just old! Its easy to give it up when your sex drive had dropped to once a month - if he had "gone clean" in his thirties or forties that may have said something for his character, leaving it this late just means his dick's now as useless as his brain.

Rise, Rebel, Resist.

I've long considered Geraldo to be the news media's biggest buffoon. I saw him a couple years ago admit that an ex had knocked his tooth out, and he quickly said he deserved it. He seems to believe that confessions and self-flagellation in front of an audience of millions are necessary to offset his cheating.

BUT, he's so over-the-top in his chivalry that he might be a blessing in disguise. Most proponents of chivalry are smooth and tactful in their hypocrisy. Geraldo isn't. He's so clumsy and transparent that some of the general public might even start to question the status quo.

I say - give Geraldo an even bigger soap box. Maybe he could do a Fox News Special on how men can avoid physical harm, humiliation and self-loathing by learning to properly obey their wives.
