Russian Paper To Women: Be Proud Of Bruises!

LAWMAKERS IN RUSSIA HAVE VOTED TO DECRIMINALIZE DOMESTIC ABUSE.
THAT MEANS THAT IF A HUSBAND DECIDES TO BE HIS WIFE, HE
DOESN'T HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT IT BEING A CRIMINAL ACT AND
THE LAWMAKERS ARGUE HEY, WE'RE JUST DOING THIS TO PROTECT
THE PRIVACY OF THESE FAMILIES.
WE DON'T WANT TO GET SO INVOLVED.
IF A PARENT WANTS TO HIT THEIR KID, THAT IS THEIR BUSINESS.
WE DO WANT TO GET INVOLVED IN IT.
WELL, THERE'S ALSO SOME PROPAGANDA GOING AROUND
REGARDING HOW DOMESTIC ABUSE TOWARD WOMEN IS ACTUALLY A
GOOD THING.
THERE WAS A PUBLICATION IN RUSSIA KNOWN AS THE NEWSPAPER
AND APPARENTLY THEY WROTE A COLUMN CITING A VERY
QUESTIONABLE STUDY INDICATING THAT WHEN A WIFE GETS BEATEN,
SHE IS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE A BOY AND THAT IS GOOD, RIGHT?
THAT'S AN UPSIDE.
LET'S GO TO GRAPHIC 25.
A COLUMN IN THIS PAPER, ONE OF THE COUNTRY'S MOST POPULAR
PAPERS HAS SAID THAT WOMEN SHOULD FIND SOLACE IN THE
FACT THAT WOMEN WHO SUFFER DOMESTIC VIOLENCE ARE MORE
LIKELY TO GIVE BIRTH TO BOYS.
IS THIS FOR YEARS, WOMEN WHO HAVE BEEN SMACKED AROUND BY
THE HUSBANDS HAVE FOUND SOLACE IN THE RATHER HYPOCRITICAL
PROFFERED, IF HE BEATS YOU, IT MEANS HE LOVES YOU.
HOWEVER, A NEW SCIENTIFIC STUDY IS GIVING WOMEN NEW GROUNDS
TO BE PROUD OF THEIR BRUISES AND SO FAR AS WOMEN WHO ARE
BEATEN, BIOLOGISTS CONFIRM, HAVE A VALUABLE ADVANTAGE.
THEY'RE MORE LIKELY TO GIVE BIRTH TO BOYS.
THEY CITED A CONTROVERSIAL PSYCHOLOGIST, HIS NAME IS
SANTOSH HE CONDOS OUR WHO PUBLISH THIS ARTICLE BACK IN
2005 I CAN'T IMAGINE THAT IF YOU GET BEATEN YOU ARE MORE
LIKELY TO HAVE BOYS AND BESIDES WHICH, WHY IS THAT AN UPSIDE?
IT WOULD SEEM LIKE IF WE HAVE THIS EPIDEMIC OF THE BOYS
BEATING THE WOMEN, WE WOULD IN THAT CONTEXT WANT FEWER,
THAT'S NOT MY CONCLUSION BUT YOU MIGHT DRAW THAT FROM THE
SCIENTIFIC STUDY.
LOOK, I AM NOT A BIOLOGIST, IT'S NOT IMPOSSIBLE THAT MAYBE THE
SORTS OF MEN WHO ARE MORE LIKELY TO BEAT WOMEN ALSO FOR WHATEVER
GENETIC REASON ARE MORE LIKELY TO PRODUCE MALE OFFSPRING.
MAYBE?
BUT THEY WOULD ALSO THEN THEORETICALLY PRODUCE MORE
MALE OFFSPRING WITHOUT BEATING.
I DON'T CARE.
THIS IS INSANE.
THIS IS TELLING WOMEN IF HE BEATS YOU, YOU SHOULD BE
HAPPY ABOUT IT SHOW YOUR MOUTH.
THIS IS NOT A SILVER LINING.
1ST OF ALL, YOU SHOULD BE HAPPY IF YOU ARE GOING TO HAVE A
BABY REGARDLESS OF THE GENDER.
THIS IS INSANE.
YOU WILL STILL BE HAPPY, JUST NOT AS HAPPY.
THAT IS NOT ME SPEAKING, THAT IS THEM.
THAT'S TOTALLY BESIDE THE POINT.
I DON'T CARE, HAS NOTHING TO DO WITH THIS.
AND HIS INSULT TO INJURY.
YOU CANCEL WOMEN WHO ARE BEING BEATEN AND ABUSED THAT THIS
IS COOL.
THIS IS GREAT.
HE LOVES YOU.
THIS IS WHERE THE EXPRESSION INSULT TO INJURY COMES FROM.
THEY ARE INSULTING THE WOMEN WHO ARE INJURED BY THEIR HUSBANDS.
OBVIOUSLY THEM DECRIMINALIZING THE DOMESTIC ABUSE IS THE
BIGGER ISSUE BECAUSE IF YOU HAVE THIS PROBLEM SOCIALLY, YOU
WANT THE GOVERNMENT TO BE TAKING ACTION BUT IN A DIRECTION
THAT HELPS TO SOLVE THE PROBLEM NOT THE SIMPLY COVERS IT UP
BY TAKING AWAY THE ACTUAL LEAVE LEGAL CONSEQUENCES FOR.
IMAGINE IF YOUR WOMAN THERE AND YOUR HUSBAND IS BEATING YOU
A NICE TO THE GOVERNMENT SAY YEAH, THAT IS TOTALLY FINE.
HOW WOULD YOU FEEL KNOWING THAT YOUR GOVERNMENT DOESN'T
GIVE A DAMN ABOUT THE STRUGGLE YOU'RE GOING THROUGH?
YOU KNOW OTHER GOVERNMENT DOESN'T GIVE A DAMN ABOUT
THE STRUGGLE SOME WOMEN GO THROUGH?
THE UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT WERE REPUBLICAN LAWMAKERS HAVE
VOTED AGAIN AND AGAIN AGAINST THE VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT.
VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN ACT PROTECTS WOMEN FROM
DOMESTIC ABUSE AND THEY VOTE AGAINST IT.
WHICH IS INSANE.
HE DOESN'T MAKE HEADLINES, IT IS NOT A SEXY STORY BUT IT IS
SOMETHING TO KEEP IN MIND WHILE WE SIT HERE AND CRITICIZE
OTHER COUNTRIES FOR WHAT THEY DO.
