re: #46 tradewind

Oh, come on… simply because they want to shroud their females restore a more modest style of dress and allow a husband to indulge in the manly art of wife-beating now and then doesn’t mean there’s a sinister agenda…

I think we tend to forget how near this is in our cultures as well? I just need to go back one generation to find prevalent attitudes of women’s inferiority. Wife-beating goes on still. And this in a country that’s known for being one of the most gender equal in the world.
This does not mean we shouldn’t fight it at every turn, but perhaps we should have some respect for the time it takes to change entire societies perception of right and wrong and how far we have still to go ourselves?
