Move to Russia!....giving your wife a smack when she deserves it has been decriminalized there.

Moscow (CNN)Russian President Vladimir Putin has signed a law that decriminalizes some forms of domestic violence, according to state-run news agency Tass.

Dubbed the "slapping law," it decriminalizes a first offense of domestic violence that does not seriously injure the person, making it a less serious administrative offense.
 
If only they'd had the "one free slap" law in Florida in the 1970s, Ishmael would have one less domestic violence arrest!
 
Did Putin get that idea from his buddy Donald?

Maybe next he will do like Egypt and get a verbal divorce law.
 
The Russian Orthodox Church is also in favor of the law.

The Russian Orthodox Church, which has steadily increased its influence in social policy in recent years, said in a statement last year that physical punishment was a Russian tradition and thus should be protected as “an essential right given by God.”
 
Women became "more equal" in the west during and after ww2 and most of the worst injustices had been eradicated by the early 1980's.

This is the period of time during which western democracies raced ahead economically.

Doubling the workforce obviously helped.

Perhaps the current long term economic malaise is the result of productivity rebound ( doubled the workforce but not productivity so eventually the system chokes out under the weight of demand growth).

Eventually, most people wont be needed for work.

Not sure how that works with income in any capitalist model.

But yeah, pear shaped shaming ad from underwear company...that stuff was the norm. Like a different planet.

Or muslims.
