Mariam highlighted a very disturbing report (in Arabic) published on al-Arabiya’s website that says over 80% of Jordanian women support wife-beating! I’m not sure if this has even a smidgen of truth to it but the figures, released by Jordan’s National Family Council, are quite alarming and disturbing.
According to the report:
- 83% of Jordanian women approve of wife beating if the woman cheats on her husband
- 60% approve of wife beating in cases where the wife burns a meal she’s cooking
- 52% approve of wife beating in case where she’s refused to follow the husband’s orders
I’m quite skeptical, as the figures are very alarming! If this proves true, then a major awareness campaign should take place among Jordanian women as soon as possible! Oh my, the world is going down the drain!
Feminists get all in a tizzy about wife beating far far away, while they ignore or encourage husband beating very close at hand.
It would be instructive to know how many teenagers approve of women beating their husbands or girlfriends hitting their boyfriends 1) if the boyfriend/husband cheated 2) if the boyfriend/husband did not clean the house how and when she wants 3) if the boyfriend/husband refuses to follow her orders.
Asking these questions does show us the other side of the coin (women in a matriarchy who think it is ok to beat their men). Domestic Violence by women on men is an epidemic in the West that goes unchallenged and no feminist it seems is willing to shine a light on it.
Feminists are are eager to ignore husband/boyfriend beatings in their own country, so they focus on wife beating in far off lands.
