this.Funny how you'd focus on one word in which SAS already said was wrong and not EVERYTHING else he said for that 10-15mins. Throw all that out the window and pretend he already said nobody should out their hands in anyone, let's just act angry and some how throw in rape their too.
Soooo was the apology about his usage of words, or his 15 minute domestic violence segment? I thought he apologized for using the word provoke. If that's what the apology is based on, why would the focus be elsewhere?

Some people see it otherwise.
Ill say this though, had she made effort to contact him one on one initially to voice her opinion about that word and her being a former abuse victim speaking on it, and if he were to blow her off and disregard what she had to say, then she would have a reason to air him out.
But since she jumped the gun, I do feel she went about it the wrong way.

He issued his state t because out what beadle said. Beadle only brought up the use of the word provoke. YES the apology was for the use of the word provoke.
But you'll argue against it anyway. Nothing new here.
For the record SAS has talked about domestic violence a number of times saying the same thing and only now has anyone said anything about it because of the word provoke.

In Internet slang, a troll (/ˈtroʊl/, /ˈtrɒl/) is a person who sows discord on the Internet by starting arguments or upsetting people,[1] by posting inflammatory,[2] extraneous, or off-topic messages in an online community (such as a newsgroup, forum, chat room, or blog) with the deliberate intent of provoking readers into an emotional response[3] or of otherwise disrupting normal on-topic discussion.[4]
You got it bro

So we teach our kids not to go out there and provoke anything to return a violent act, but we're offended by the same advice as adults?

What you did to me earlier? Read that as see if you fit the bill or not. Half of your responses are comprised if insults, the other filled with dancing around the topic but not saying anything definitive about it.
It's ironic that you'd call anyone a troll

So let's get this straight
SAS apologized for using the word provoke
You agree he used the wrong word
This thread's topic is about him apologizing for using the wrong word
So what are you arguing?

A chick getting the hands laid on her because she yelled and in someone's mind that = provocation? Nah sorry I don't hear that

Expand on the context of this yelling, I haven't been following this thread.

Because that's the only way someone is "provoked" right? You and the others bring up the worst case scenario to prove your point.
One yell and the girl gets knocked out
Every guy on earth is stronger than every girl
Domestic violence only happens to females
Your examples are extremes yet you argue other only use extremes.
Situations can work both ways. Both parties can be in the wrong. Both parties can contribute to the violence. In some cases the girl is the one bringing it on herself. In some cases the guy does.
This is real life

The whole problem with the verbiage he used is that he can be interpreted so many different ways. Saying you can't be surprised if someone hits you because you provoke them is the wrong thing to say. Who are we to determine what provoke means?
Saying yelling is provocative is extreme? Ok dude you got it

How many guys in this thread have been hit by a woman? How many guys in here hit her back?
If a woman hits a man, she deserves whatever may happen after.
NO WOMAN DESERVES TO BE ABUSED.
Women have gotten to the point where they believe they can say and do whatever they please with no recourse. Women have to understand this. This is what I will teach my daughters, "if you start swinging on a man, you better hit and run because he may beat you"
No I don't believe in beating women. I believe there's a better way to resolve an issue rather than using your fists.

Troll on. You're just proving my point

It is when it's your ONLY example of why abuse happens.

It's not extreme to automatically assume everyone is suppose to think provoke means a woman hitting you? and be flabbergasted when someone interprets the word as something else
Like I said you got it, and I asked you a question. You agree he used the wrong word and the topic is him apologizing for using the wrong word. What are you arguing about?

The rape comparison made by Beadle and whoever brought it up in here is disgusting.
There are ZERO ways to provoke rape.
Provoke in the context of domestic abuse is up for interpretation and that's where Stephen A messed up.

Who said provoke only means hitting? Quote that. Provoke doesn't mean solely one or the other yet for some reason in here you have to assume it's whatever best fits your argument and only that.
That's what im discussing or "arguing".
What are you arguing about?
