Russia set to decriminalize domestic violence

[🐒Gods of Prosperity🔱🐲💸]

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?

People are ridiculously gullible when it comes to claims about the political positions of an Other.
