A short conversation of Arabic (Lebanese) women about this problem

Wife beating

Shocking! Especially that part about the police...I also watched the video it was a response too. Not really less clear in its message.

How to beat your wife

Do people really listen to crap like that?

Well, if you start with the assumption that a woman is inferior, less then human, a slave of the man, all the rest follows to make a nice, coherent gender apartheid.

You're right. A kind of social acceptance. Still it gets on my tits

When an entire society "covers" women making her less than human and it is called "protecting" her....when an entire society accepts this and defends it...how can anything ever change. Women in these societies are not even allowed to have an IDENTITY. It's a hideous reality!

Women should always be covered. Men are natural leaders and women are supposed to take care of them and the children. The man provides for the family and therefore has the highest status. The women's job is sex, providing food, child care and supporting her husband. The husband has a busy, stressful life and it is only natural that he does not want to spend it being jealous of other men looking at his wife. Similarly, it is acceptable if he sometimes finds other women for sex, because he earns such recreational activity by working so hard for his family.

It is acceptable for a man to beat his wife if she fails in her duties to him. The man is the money-earner and the wife should be as dedicated to her duties as he is to his job. If she fails in this duty, punishment is a good way to teach her.

It is about time women came to their senses and stopped trying to be so independent.

only weaks and fearfulls can beat a woman,yes pity thats a social reality and wound of some cultures and i believe that thats only a personality matter..how to love your wife isn't better sound instead of how to beat ur wife????
