Senegal's husband worshippers

[anileve]

This might actually belong in the humor section as well.

What do you have to say for these mucus crepes?
==========================================

Cases of domestic violence against women are common in Senegal's southern region of Casamance.

Two women recently suffered pregnancy miscarriages after being severely beaten by their husbands.

Yet these incidents were never made public as it is rare for a woman in the Casamance to reveal publicly that her husband is abusing her.

One of the reasons is that most women believe that it is only their husbands who can bless them.

In fact among the Manding-speaking people, men are so revered that they are sometimes treated as demi-gods.

There is a long-standing traditional belief here that if a man is angry at his wife, it could prevent her from entering paradise in the next world.

Here, the man is considered not only the head of the family but also the bread-winner, therefore no-one dares to challenge his authority.

Way to cherry pick only cases of women getting beaten. I would like to know what the figures are. Women get beaten even in this society, and raped. That doesn't mean anything.

As Homer Simpson would say, "It takes two to commit domestic abuse. One to beat and one to get beaten."

Disclaimer. Homer didn't actually say it. But it just sounds like something he would say in such a case.

I move for a motion to agree with the man with the offroad vehicle as his avatar, that Homer is a delight.

BEATING WOMEN IS BAD. DON'T DO IT PEOPLE!

First of all, if they are remembering half of the rape scene and still reciting it after it is over only to target males with a poor generalization then it couldn't have been all that bad. I mean think about it, something that harsh and you are still dwelling on it after you have earned yourself justice and you spout it out only to demonize males? There was obviously something within that scene that she found delightful.


You know what they say "make the most of whatever you get." I guess she took that literally, in this case.

thanks for posting that ani!

let's dump this breed of garbage the f---k outta this planet!!!


if those women lived in this country i would call them dumasses!!!

however, since they're from 'another world' we'll have to be more supportive of their socioeconomic and cultural conditions and the sad circumstances that lead to this kind of intolerable behaviour!

i would love to personally gather all these men and put them in a torture chamber and decide on a cruel punishment..like stapling their testicles to one another and wrapping their *&%$# in ice then dunking it in liquid nitrogen so it would break off and shatter into pieces when they "pull out"

I am glad I do not date none of you feminists. It would be very dangerous for my health.

unless you're interested in dating deviance or seapahn, i assume you're referring to anileve and me

what's scary is that you apply this to YOU!! i was referring to THOSE men who commit such acts, not all men!!--and for the record, i am NOT a feminist! i just don't believe in anyone dominating/repressing/holding down anyone else...my ideal world has peace, love, and respect for ALL

what kind of world do YOU want? one with oppression and control where women are second class citizens?

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
love does not equal slavery
love does not equal oppression
love does not equal domination

What's scary is you apply this to YOU!! I was not referring to just you in general, nor anileve. In fact, pretty much all of the ladies in this forum, I would describe as being feministic, with one or two exceptions. I was only making an observation. You do not need to get serious with this, for I never said love equals any of the nonsense you mentioned.

the "nonsense" i mention is what comes out in your posts, and though i've tried to deny it, it's just blatantly obvious that you just hate successful women! plain and simple; it's sad really that even in this day and age some men like women to be held back; if a woman's smart she can do all and compromise as needed for her family and kids....why some men feel threatened by this? i don't understand???

you can hate me and others like me all you want, and shake your head in disbelief; it doesn't change the person i am and your point of view will not let you see the person i am inside....
