Funny you say that, because in this situation, anyone who has had a dissenting opinion to the majority have been attacked, saying there "enabling women beating" or "anti-women". You know why your opinion doesn't matter? Because it's not your family that is affected. Everyone running around with their pitch forks pretending to be experts on this now, have not once stopped to consider what she thought.
Case in point. Eco, I'm going to assume that you haven't talked to her, so you shouldn't go around making generalizations about someone that you clearly know nothing about. It's true that some women do hide it and back up their men, but these are women who are outside of the public eye, that have no one to turn to. That isn't the case here; for one she did swing first and that does play into it, where most of the time the women does nothing but take the beating. Don't think I'm excusing Ray Rice's reaction, I unlike everyone else believe in true equality, and that NO ONE should be allowed to hit ANYONE, no matter the sex. But more importantly, because she's in the public eye, all she had to do was turn on Ray Rice, she would be the victim, and would end up suing him for everything he's worth, and would come away with a decent chunk. She didn't do that, and that speaks volume to me. That and Ray Rice has no past history of any Domestic Abuse.
Until either she, or someone very close to her (which she has friends, say what you will about Janay, the friends have nothing to be afraid of and would gladly spill the beans) says to the contrary, I'm going to take Janay at her word. Because she's the one that, once again, ends up being the victim.
