Beating a wife and honor killings are a HUGE part of third world country muslims but yet? Leftards want them here....come one, come all. If Rob Porter was arrested for domestic abuse and was convicted of it and spent jail time? Let's see it..... If there is one thing that I know first hand about is how vindictive women can be because there are plenty of psychos out there. As a musician that had his far share of commit-free trysts back in the day? I was the victim of women losing their temper. AND I played with this one guitar player that was stalked by this psycho bitch and she would show up at many gigs we played (since it would always be in the newspaper entertainment segment) and start shit. There are two sides to every story. I would hazard to guess that most abusers have run afoul of the "law" because abusers don't just lack self-control with their spouse but have issues with their temper that gets them in trouble. It's total bullshit to expect anyone on the Trump staff to make a moral judgement.

Have you heard the saying, "The rule of thumb?"
There actually used to be a rule you could bring your wife to the local court house and beat her with a stick as long as it wasn't larger round than your thumb.
"Early References
A reference to this connection is found in 1881, in a book by Harriet H. Robinson: Massachusetts in the Woman Suffrage Movement. She says there, "By the English common law, her husband was her lord and master. He had the custody of her person, and of her minor children. He could 'punish her with a stick no bigger than his thumb,' and she could not complain against him."
Most of her statement is undoubtedly true: married women had little recourse if a husband treated her or her children badly, including many acts of battery.
There was an 1868 case, State v. Rhodes, where a husband was found innocent because, the judge said, "the defendant had a right to whip his wife with a switch no larger than his thumb," and in another case in 1874, State v. Oliver, the judge cited the "old doctrine, that a husband had a right to whip his wife, provided he used a switch no longer than his thumb" but continued on that this was "not law in North Carolina.
Indeed, the Courts have advanced from that barbarism...."
A 1782 cartoon by James Gillray depicted a judge, Francis Buller, supporting this idea — and earned the judge the nickname, Judge Rule."

Maybe the Republicans are trying to bring it back?

Are you say you have proof that they approve of it today? If so which Christian sects?

Your thread title fits right in with Black culture. If there is a man around after the seed has been planted, violence soon follows.

'Submit to your husbands': Women told to endure domestic violence in the name of God

'Submit to your husbands': Women told to endure domestic violence in the name of God
i will expect you to try the lame excuse that the article is from australia & therefore doesn't apply to this country.... however, denominations practice the same wherever they are located.

Research shows that the men most likely to abuse their wives are evangelical Christians who attend church sporadically*. Church leaders in Australia say they abhor abuse of any kind. But advocates say the church is not just failing to sufficiently address domestic violence, it is both enabling and concealing it.

I don't expect you to do anything.
And if you don't get my point, you're an ignoramus.
