I think there is a double standard but I'm not sure if Tiger Woods and Rhianna are comparable. It was assumed that his wife beat him because of the breaking of the window with the golf club but he has called those accusations completely false. The fact that he has denied it will keep her out of jail because he was also in a car accident that night. Now, of course the media is going to make jokes out of it because he has "allegedly" cheated on Elin with who knows how many other women and getting beat with your own golf clubs makes good humor in Hollywood.
Rhianna, on the other hand, was punched repeatedly in the face by her boyfriend after an argument they had in the car. I hate to say this because it doesn't make either case right but Rhianna was no match for Chris Brown. Neither was Tiger Woods for a gold club but if she was beating him with a long golf club I find it hard to believe he couldn't make the attempt to take it away from her and be successful. KWIM?
So yeah, there is a double standard but if you punched or hit your husband with an item and he called the cops on you, you'd spend the night in jail just as he would if he touched you. So, legally it is punishable equally.
