The incredible double standards around violence are not going to come as any surprise to regular readers, but I want to put the “Solange beats the crap out of Jay Z” incident in a broader cultural context. The following quote has apparently been misattributed to Voltaire, but whoever actually said it was on to something, I think:

First, let’s flip the script and have Jay Z beat up Solange just to demonstrate how very different cultural, and in particular, feminist attitudes are towards women who are physically abusive to men. Here is Tracie Egan Morrissey, writing at Jezebel about the assault. Of course, her first question is “what the hell did Jay Z do to earn that beating?”, which is a totally appropriate reaction, right?

Judgybitch has it nailed dead to the wall, as she usually does:

When a woman gets violent with a man, the first question a feminist asks is what the male did to deserve it.

If you're a male feminist, this will happen to you. Women will ask what you did to deserve the beating you got.

Now Jay-Z might have pulled an Ike Turner on Beyonce in which case he would deserve what he got (and worse), but nobody knows that, least of all the feminists. And it doesn't matter to feminists what he did - he's a dude, he got hit by a woman, he obviously deserved it.

You know, like they used to get away with saying about women.

Now those of you who come across this via google, check out all the angry responses. These are angry, entitled feminists who don't like someone challenge their privilege. This is why 80% of Americans think feminism is obsolete.
