Russia set to decriminalize domestic violence

[Firestorm]

Introduced by a member of the "Social Democratic" opposition.

But Atlas told me A Just Russia were FFs!

Why can't Westerners realize that at least half of the Russians who don't like Putin are the kind of people who think he doesn't take patriarchal conservatism far enough?

Anyway, another poster was right about it being part a broad move towards lighter sentences for what we Americans would call misdemeanor battery. If you only do 15 days in jail for slapping someone on a subway, you probably shouldn't spend 2 years in prison (Russian prison, no less) for going home and giving your kid a spanking (seems like that was the main concern of the bill's sponsor; not wife-beating).

I trolled a couple of doofuses on facebook yesterday who literally thought that any legislative body in the world would vote 380-3 to let men beat their wives. Just how evil are we supposed to think the Russians really are?

Saudi Arabia might come close to being that unanimous. Iran? Not a chance.

There are currently 61 women on the Russian State Duma. Assuming all the opposition voters were women, that means that 95% of Russian female deputies of the State Duma actively support misogyny.

AND NO ONE THOUGHT THAT MIGHT BE JUST A LITTLE BIT UNLIKELY!?

No, this is a mysognist bill, and the victims of this bill won't be the women who support such a bill.

Oh really?

(Assuming here that Senator Schaefer was indeed killed by her husband and not by Georgia Defax. My mom still thinks they did it, and she used to work for them.)

PROVE it. So far i hear an empty statements from "bona-fide progressives"....

BTW, you will not believe, but old russian saying says "If he (man, who heads a family) deosn't beat - he doesn't loves..."

"Spare the rod, spoil the child."

Considering Proverbs 13:24, I'd say that most Christian cultures have sayings to that affect.
