"Beat me, Chris Brown"

We have a serious problem in this society when women think it's funny or okay to want to be beaten by someone they find attractive or talented.

Chris Brown's mediocre singing is apparently one such exception. During his (lip-synched) performance at the Grammys, Twitter women were abuzz with pleas for the rap star's violence, proclamations that they would be willing participants in any potential future abuse.

Is violence really endearing? One girl posted that she would gladly be punched in the face by Brown if he kissed her afterward. Apologies and false love do not discount abuse! They perpetuate the cycle of violence!

So not only are women and girls accepting these apologies, they're seeking situations in which they are (or are NOT) evident before/during/after violence against themselves. Truly disgusting.
