COMMENT: JadaPinkettSmith has been forgotten – it’s all about male swagger, now

she revealed

On hearing the bad taste quip, Smith stormed to the stage and hit Rock square in the jaw, before returning to his seat and warning him: “Keep my wife’s name out your f***ing mouth.” Why? Well, because so many women will have been in situations almost exactly like this and rather than coming across as protective or romantic; to me it feels boorish and ungainly – even misogynistic. It marks women out as damsels who need a man to come to their defence with fists; when women are quite capable of holding their own when it comes to verbal sparring, thanks.

The actual woman at the centre of the headlines – and her feelings about it all – are forgotten, actually. Did Smith stop for a moment to ask his wife if she wanted him to storm onstage and make a spectacle? Did he wait to find out how she felt about Rock’s terrible joke? Is it not entirely plausible that Smith has, in acting the way he did, made a bad quip a whole lot worse?
