    Woman Beats Man on "Tyra"

    Tyra Banks had a segment on her show about girlfriends who beat up thier boyfriends [28]. It reminds me of scenarios I've witnessed play out on the street. This is Domestic Violence Awareness Month and I've written about the issue a bit [29]. So I'm glad to see this being discussed. Troubling is the fact that this would be on TV. Some people say that this helps people that women can be abused by women. I doubt this kind of thing would pass as informative if the shoe was on the other foot. How do you feel about seeing a woman kick her man's ass on TV?
