Yes, it's sexism carried to it's extreme.



In the 1950's my white christian uncle 's 1st four children were ONLY girls....he had to keep going because they weren't good enough...he wanted SONS!

They had 8 children to appease his sexism.

No, he didn't kill his wife, but he did view her and their daughters as something "less than" he and his sons.


That attitude persists even to this day with many people .

Crazy people do crazy things. Aren't you glad you don't live in a country that honors or respects any establishment of religion?
I was unaware that misogyny was a religion.

Weak men punish women for their own infirmities. Their religion and culture apparently encourage weakness by protecting men from their mothers, sisters and wives. I think we should offer open asylum for any women that want to escape slavery. Comfort the men with a rubber glove and a tube of KY jelly.

A woman's husband and the husband's mother strangled a new mother to death....why? She had given birth to a 3rd daughter...not the son her husband wanted...mother-in-law arrested but "husband" still on the loose...

I believe several of henry VIII's wives suffered a similar fate. What's your point?

The basic problem in these cultures is women and children are considered property of the highest ranking male in the family. These men, and their subservient women, are just disciplining slaves. The can do the same with defiant boys as well. These culture needs to give up the concept that people are property. Our culture has mostly done this so they can as well.

Sounds like your uncle had a personal problem, that's a little harder to cure, not because he was a Christian.

You sure like to put people in a box.

You sure, he wasn't religious?? There's a difference............

Crazy or not. It's their business. Thats the problem with U.S: Always trying to police and impose our distorted morals on the rest
of the world and then call them savages if they disagree and wish we'd mind our own backyard and quit trying to mow the lawn in theirs.

What???

Your comments appear to support the killing of innocents...

Why are US outrage and condemnation over MURDER considered "distorted morals" ? Was the Holocaust by Germans just "their business"...?

IYO, the world should sit back and approve/allow such atrocities?? Or, if the murders were of men, would you feel any different??

Dude, buzz off...
