"..it�s very hard to imagine the media criticizing a married woman who was gunned down by her boyfriend."

Glenn Sacks: Death of Steve McNair�Domestic Violence by Women Is Not Uncommon, Says Public Health Specialist:

Former NFL star Steve McNair was shot dead in his sleep last week by a 20-year-old girlfriend, police said Wednesday. While there are over 10,000 media entries on Google News for �Steve McNair,� hardly one of them is paired with the phrase �domestic violence.�...

Holstein, MD adds:

Many commentators are criticizing McNair because his murder revealed that he was apparently having an extramarital affair. This is another double-standard on men & DV�it�s very hard to imagine the media criticizing a married woman who was gunned down by her boyfriend.


Is this just the male version of "he asked for it?"
