Chuck Finley took a lot of ribbing when the stories about he and Tawny Kitaen came to light but the fact is SHE was the abusive one and his only course of action turned out to be going to the authorities because he knew fighting back would make him be considered the abuser. I'm all about women being empowered but joking about a woman being abused is never funny so why is it all right to make the same joke when it happens to a man?
