@avocadoontoast I clearly stated multiple times hitting women is wrong.
Those comments can go both ways as a woman may think men can add fuel to the fire, etc.
I can only comment from my perspective, as a man.
I didn't mean to come and trigger you overly sensitive white knights crusading for feminist rights.
We're all on the same page regarding domestic violence i just don't like seeing the guy get thrown in the bin like he can't rehabilitate and become a better person and learn the right way to be as a human being.
I’m not campaigning for feminist rights, I’m just saying men shouldn’t hit women. And I’m not triggered, but you should be ashamed of yourself for what you said.
Ashamed is going a little far, don’t you think, avo.
So, no guy could ever be guilty of acting totally in self defence toward a psychotic girlfriend, no man was ever right when he began to accuse his missus of cheating and also ANY guy who may have earned a mozza working hard to have a career as pro Sportsman should then have to forfeit a large portion of their happiness / some of that sweet Aussie $ (yeah right) that may not at all be warranted for compensation - much like a gold digger where the action was deliberate and very much frowned upon in the moral ordering - because u feel that a man can never be PHYSICALLY demonstrative in an argument, because you think the end of a court trial in which he is not guilty justifies the means of a money grab or even a legitimate attempt to ruin his life? Even if someone who really scared you or did not get along with your family did a similarly terrible thing to one of your younger siblings... It’s not the same.
Because “that isn’t what my parents taught me”, well it isn’t 1960 anymore (you know it was still very much a thing even then, being able to engage in sexual intercourse just for having a marriage certificate, not always physical, etc.) and with media these days us lot tend to find out much more of the relevant info to pass judgement in such circumstances.
If that were you and your family up there trying to stand alongside Zane (as a brother) then can assure you ya wouldn’t be hopping on here juiced up off social injustice and advocating for the end of the man’s career. It’s not very empathetic and suggests you have little to no experience with the facts/police reports/judgement or jury biases when dealing with a situation like so. It’s definitely not ‘Black n White’ and what u r doing is more devils advocate in saying a man should be ashamed for being informed and valuing his own sane position on matters like this (Demps) than white-knighting, and standing up for the woman... unless you’re about to tell me you know the couple personally and have been involved in the two sides’ copious amounts of heated altercations, which neither seem to be learning anything from - another of Demp’s points.
As said it is definitely a double-edged sword... we men have been known to use our arms motioning various things throughout a night on the town or just generally over the course of history and perhaps even intimidate opposite sex by accident . Whether you know that person or not - NOBODY, and I mean nobody is defending a convicted, serial abuser and belittler of women - I guarantee they wouldn’t be seeking the end of your employment or to sully your name like some have.
I believe I am on your side of the fence regarding whether he signs or not, so you’ll hopefully take this with goodwill.
He pleaded guilty, was charged, suspended sentence. And no, there is no excuse for a man to hit a woman. With the exception of your last paragraph I pretty much disagree with everything you wrote.
