No you read my words but then make sweeping statements. I never said abuse was or is the norm I said that it was the norm for a women to become property of her husband.
You do speak some sense but in a quite long winded way!
You really believe that the actual ceremony is exactly the same? Tradition and stories change and develop as they are passed on. Even written traditions change through translation.
Very few people would be as closed minded as to laugh at a man who's been abused by a women but the victimised man may believe that would be the result.
I am in no way a feminist! I'm a realist.
That said, I do enjoy reading the opinions and replying to a person of intelligence :)
You implied it. You said, and I quote:
" traditionally, women in marriages were property of their husbands who can do whatever they like to their wives! Because that was the tradition is it right?"
That mixed with the point for that it was typed for, marital rape, shows that you were implying something.
Something about implied statements is that a lot of them are not always intentional.
Yes, the ceremony is the same, the default one, but most still have the iconic symbols of a wedding, the white dress, father giving daughter away (or any other male figure in the family), the walk down the isle, etc.
You would be surprised. A man was laughed and mocked on television by a group of women and the crowd of the show that were all women.
Not only this, but males make half of the victims in domestic violence and not even 5% of the domestic violence shelter are for men or allow men entry.
Do you think that everyone should get married?
