I would like to believe that I'm a student & teacher of life. At the beginning of 2007, I relocated from NYC to Charlotte, NC. I've written 4 books of poetry and have just completed my 1st novel. I would like to believe that my life experience may be able to educate others by seeing the world thru my eyes. There's always a point of view, & I'd like to add my flavor. I'm an extremely private person, however, I believe that I can speak for the voices that need to be heard. In the last few months, since the Rihanna/Chris Brown saga, Ms. Oprah has featured a few of her shows on domestic abuse. She's had media darlings on her show such as Tara Banks discuss personal encounters with this sensitive subject.
Now today, actress, Robin Givens has jumped on the bandwagon to discuss her "abuse" when she was married to former boxing champ, Mike Tyson.
| It appears that many may have forgotten the triangle relationship that Mr. Tyson experienced as when he married Ms. Givens, it was said that her mother was also a part of this 3 sided affair. The mother and daughter were accused of using the uneducated yet naturally gifted fighter. For a moment, Ms. Givens and mother were the most hated women in the United States. It's interesting that now, since the Rihanna/Chris Brown drama, now the public and Ms. Oprah have embraced the once fallen actress.
Within the last few weeks Ms. Oprah has featured about three shows on domestic abuse. On the episode with Ms. Givens, are former domestic abuse men, husbands and boyfriends who are suppose to give an insight on why such animals beat up on women. What I find interesting is that this show (as the others) talk about the abuse towards women. But what about the men who are abused by women, wives, girlfriends even mothers. A man can not call the police and charge that he's getting his ass kicked by his wife or girlfriend. It would become a laughing matter. It would only be fair to focus on the forgotten victims, men who are abused by the opposite sex. And what about the gay men and women who are involved in domestic abuse relationships. Where's the voice of that forgotten helpless person or group of people? It appears that our society has a hard time realizing some men are abused by their partners. This is also a problem within the gay community. Many gay men (and women) endure abuse mentally, physically, emotionally, sexually and spiritually. No different than our straight brothers and sisters. Are the television shows discussing this to educate or shock the viewer? Ms. Oprah informed, "Three women die from domestic abuse everyday". Perhaps with such shows and media interest, the laws will become tougher and the punishment will be more strict, severe and harsh. Hopefully this will happen sooner than later. We don't need to lose another life due to this domestic cancer. You read it here at GBMNews.com |
