Am I the only person who kinda agrees with Stehen A. Smith here?

Preface: I generally loathe that loud-mouthed buffoon and frequently find myself wondering how he has a job in that industry.

For reference, here is what he said:

Essentially, it is never ok to hit a woman and he abhors men who do, but why do women get a pass when a man hits them after they did everything they could to physically and emotionally provoke him? I do not understand him to be talking about simple arguments, but when women start screaming and slapping and the like.

How many times have we witnessed, heard about or seen a video of a woman getting up in a guy's face, spitting on him, screaming at him, slapping him, shoving him and generally throwing a tantrum? In the situations where the man reacts and hits her, I believe it is wrong but why does nobody ever talk about the woman acting like a subhuman social reject? Those same woman all of sudden act shocked and scream about abuse, as if being a woman gives them a pass to act in such a manner free from consequence.

If you bow up and start doing everything in your power to provoke a man, IMO you cant get too upset when he treats you like one ESPECIALLY when you start the physical contact.
