Battered Husbands

[Frimost]

I found this to be a rather interesting article
Hong Kong's battered Husbands

 

[Monazwx]

It was interesting.
Sad that the guy they profiled is 70 yrs. old though.

Battered and fried up with a side of slaw.

Mmmmm mmm!

 

[Frimost]

here's more...

Actually that was the second article from the BBC on that very same subject in just the last few months.

Hong Kong women hit out

If my husband took a concubine, I'd beat him too.

If my husband took a concubine, I'd beat him too.

That is (having a concubine) a pretty standard practice over there though, part of the cultural norm.

 

[Evil Attorney]

You mean you do not want someone to share the housework with?

Why not?

 

[Pyper]

Yes, a chauvinist cultural norm that the women are obviously not happy with and finally doing something about!

 

[Monazwx]

I don't sharing the housework, but not the paycheck.

The woman are fighting against the cultural norms, but beating the husbands is just wrong.

Throw 'em out and make them pay alimony, like in the West.

 

[Evil Attorney]

I hope the women don't do the traditional thing and start killing their husbands.

I read about a woman who was tried in absentia in cambodia, she killed her husband with a blow from an axe into his groin.

the judge called that an "unacceptable way to kill"

the judge was female...

I assume the only acceptable way to kill your husband in that country is a heart attack.

Remember not ALL of them are beating their husbands for cheating on them, some of them are beating their hubbies simply because they are no longer bringing home a paycheck becasue they were fired or laid off from their jobs.

Yes, true, that is unacceptable. But for cheating they at least deserve a smack upside the head.

 

[Monazwx]

Yep, more pressure to bring home the bacon.
They know what they're coming home to if they don't.
*smack*
