A coworker of mine and I overheard a Chris Brown song playing on the plant-wide music system. I was like Yeah, fuck him and his abusive ass, to which my coworker responded What are you talking about? I brought up the Rihanna case, and he was like Well, she was hitting him, is he not allowed to defend himself?? I couldn’t believe what I was hearing. He thinks how Chris Brown brutalized her was justified. Seriously, he was defending a serial abuser. I didn’t let that go, and we got into a debate as to how poor Breezy has been villainized by women everywhere for defending himself.

Disgusting.

Oh god that's bad. Just be aware sometimes IME men that defend abusers are abusers.
