I noticed a statement that the police were beating on the populace [ even the woman]
In that part of the world females are just incubators to produce Male children, So why is it that these people beating up woman feel that they are doing nothing wrong then beating their donkey???? This is their culture should we interfear?
Really to embrace diversity one must be sensitive to the cultures of others, except and respect. Who are we to criticize others cultures ,they are as valid as our own culture.
Do we interfear with the Ethiopians that practice female circumcision at home or insist the child have this done at a hospital??? Culture, must respect others culture.
Off topic, but when westerners try to understand the acts of the eastern people with 8,000 years of history behind them, try to understand their acts by the thinking of others that have moved on for 10+ thousands of years, there will be a problem.
