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.”…br /br /Holstein, MD adds:br /br / 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./blockquotebr /br /Is this just the male version of “he asked for it?”
