For the first post on my new blog, I thought I would write about something that has come attention recently that has me very disturbed. It has come to the media's attention recently that after Chris Brown's win at the Grammy Awards this past Sunday night, seemingly forgiving fans of his
tweeted their desire to be "beaten" by him. Most of these tweets were coming from Brown's young female followers, who seemed to make a joke about his violent altercation with
Rihanna in 2009 and many of them stated that he was "too hott" for them to care what he had done.
I found this news to be shocking and disgusting, especially since its from a generation of young girls. Having lost a friend to domestic violence in late 2010, it is not a subject I take lightly. It is sad and discouraging to see that although many activist groups are working to spread the word and rally against domestic violence, young women are still trying to glorify it.
