Instead, I've seen, what I can only describe as, a bunch of people supporting abuse.

I hope I haven't come across as defending abuse. I think the fact that the woman inteh article edures the abuse she recieves iis apawling and the fact that teh man isn't strung from a telephone pole so people can throw things at him is also appauling.

I think what sent everyone into a tizzy (myself included ) is our ingrained political correctness that responds harshly to any generalisation regardless of where teh speaker is coming from. I think I spoke out of line primarily because I assumed (wrongly) that you weren't speaking of a culture you had first hand knowledge of. I hope however that that didn't come across as condonign a horrible act. I can only speak for my self here (I gave up trying to convice some of these guys that pedophilia was universaly wrong, so good luck on the spuse abuse front )

Oh and Wednesday the decade she's living in is a decade where many middle eastern countries don't let women vote or hold jobs. One of wich is just now is allowing women to vote and teach (thanks W!) A decade where a middle eastern woman can be executed for the unforgivable crime of being raped and a decade in which female circumcision is still practiced. Perhaps when these practices have all ended and we've put an end to the culture of violence against women demonstrated in a story in wich a woman thinks it's fair to ask for only one beating a week, perhaps then we can ask those middle eastern women to be a little more politically correct.
