What's Wrong with Beating Your Wife?

This might be slightly educational for the women reading my blog, maybe not.

You see, guys have these rules. They're unwritten and basically are in place to prevent fights from breaking out and/or to prevent awkward social experiences. Here are a few...

- If you have known a guy for more then a week, his sister is off limits for dating.

- Men are never obligated to give a birthday present to any other man. Hell, remembering birthdays of other men is optional.

- You must always give any other man a one urinal buffer in a public restroom. Not only this, you are required to maximize the buffer between the two of you at all times. If you cannot maintain a urinal buffer of at least one, you must wait. No exceptions.

- You never comment on a man's fly being open. Ever. You saw nothing.

- If another man requests a small item and is outside of arms reach, you must toss it to him. He must catch it.

- When questioned about a buddy's location by his girlfriend, you must say "I do not know" repeatedly until she leaves.

- You are not permitted to drink a fruity alcoholic beverage unless the following conditions are met: You are on the beach, the drink is delivered to you by a hot chick and the drink must be free.

Now these are a few examples of the typical male rules. But there are some that never should be broken. These generally get you a decent ass whoopin from any other male able to see it.

- Stealing from a buddy.

- Manipulating a friend for his girl.

- Hitting a woman.

So when I see videos detailing "how to beat your wife according to Islamic traditions", I tend to get a little upset with the tenets of their religion.



What's bad is that they think, somehow, that the degree of beating matters. News flash, it doesn't. The fact that you think you're entitled to hit your wife at all is disgusting. What do you hit her for? Disagreeing with you? Not doing your laundry the way you like it? Being disgusted by picking out bits of food from your knotty, unkempt beard?

What's worse is that due to political correctness, it's socially unacceptable to call Muslims to task on this horrible act. We're supposed to go along and say "It's ok, it's their faith and we have to respect that."

I say bollocks. They have a right to believe in any nonsense they want. However, we don't have to respect their nonsense. And we don't have to pretend to do so either.

Why do you think society makes such large exceptions for religion and not for anything else? Can you imagine a politician running on such a platform?
