As for the tank top.... do you realise that those singlets are traditionally known as 'wife-beaters'? The slogan was an ironic statement. |
Chris Brown only got away with it because she didn't press charges. I think him being a huge celebrity might have played in as well :P
It's pretty telling that Rihanna went back to him. Society condemns her for it but maybe she recognizes that physical bruises are actually less damaging than emotional and psychological bruises.
Chris Brown himself was abused as a kid and so when he lashed out it was an involuntary response coming from deep psychological wounds. Should we crucify him for not being perfect? Rihanna seems to say no.
Women get away with the most heinous emotional abuse of their husbands. In reality, the physical component of
any abuse is less than the emotional damage. If Rihanna is emotionally comfortable enough to return to Chris, then that is a sign that the emotional damage was not nearly as severe as the physical damage made it look. We have no idea what kind of abuse Chris was inflicted with because the media considers it impossible for men to be abused by women.
