How to Handle a Woman ... Mark Steyn
Steyn Online ^ | 22 May 2014 | Mark Steyn

THE WAR ON WOMEN ...in New York:

An elderly Pakistani immigrant beat his wife to death with a stick after the doomed woman made the mistake of cooking him lentils for dinner instead of the hearty meal of goat meat that he craved, according to court papers.

Noor Hussein, 75, was so outraged over the prospect of eating the vegetarian fare that he pummeled his wife, Nazar Hussein, 66, inside their Brooklyn apartment until she was a "bloody mess," prosecutors said in opening statements of his murder trial Wednesday.

Mr Hussein used "a stick that the family had found in the street and used to stir their laundry in a washtub". So, aside from a new wife, the poor guy now has to get a new laundry stick. His attorney says we need to be more culturally sensitive:

"He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife," Clark said in her opening statements at the Brooklyn Supreme Court bench trial. "He culturally believed he had the right to hit his wife and discipline his wife."

The Muslims in prison would defend him and the rest of them wouldn’t care a bit.

The left is “winning” the battle of the Culture Wars. One might arguably call it the struggle for the soul of this nation. We are losing.

The left would suggest that the right, regarding itself as faithful, (and drawing it’s moral authority from that faith) are the cultural “soul-mates” with the likes of Mr. Hussein. Yet it is the left, deliberately choosing to defy the euphemistic law of gravity with the imposition of the morally rudderless Moral Relativism, that allows the Hussein’s of this world to persist.

If you’ve ever argued with a leftist you’ve witnessed the phenomena of hair-splitting. They indulge in it like no others. They insist, “We must respect, nay, celebrate multiculturalism” and then rationalize away outrageous behavior with, “He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife”.

Right is right and wrong is wrong, except to a leftist. That is because Liberalism is a mental disorder.

To me, the really, really disgusting thing about this was that the American defense attorney (a woman, and city paid, I imagine) actually said in his defense that it was ok in “his culture” to “discipline” your wife that way. “Discipline” your wife? And something is OK because you come from a stinking armpit of the world that subscribes to an insane death cult so therefore you can do whatever you want?

“He comes from a culture where he thinks this is appropriate conduct, where he can hit his wife”.

I’ve yet to find one liberal woman who would agree to consent to a clitorectomy in order to show their mulitcultural respect for the “Religion of Peace”.

At the rate things are going there will be licensed female-gential-mutilation practitioners in European hospitals in 10 years. How I wish I was a crazy extremist spouting nonsense.

This is the kind of thing that used to be screened back when I brought my wife home in 1976 and we went through a myriad of troublesome hoops to please the bureaucrats.

Untold requirements that don’t exist save the answer to three basic questions” “Is this person from a 3rd world shithole?,” “is this person non-white,” and “is it likely he/she will be a Democrat voter?”

“On a serious note, the term “rule of thumb” comes from the English common law where it was legal to beat your wife, as long as the stick wasn’t any thicker than your thumb.”

No, it doesn’t. You have been propagandized. Spread the word.

We’ve been comparing what’s going on to the dark ages. The kids want answers to why people around them and in the news seem to look at things so strangely and to make such bad decisions so consistently

These kids have western civ in their curriculum, which is not the case in many high schools so we are able to explain it in terms of going through a dark age

In the future people WILL be looking back at us as whacked out our culture hates children, family, decency, our own constitution and its defenders including and especially veterans

The Catholic Church has warned in Humanae Vitae and otherwise that cultural acceptance of birth control would bring this about

But we are encouraged to not think. Our kids in school are taught that thinking, asking questions and being logical is immoral

A society that wants its young to ‘feel’ that mass killings by abortion (53 million so far 1.5 m per yr) is okay, has no other choice

And from there stupidity on a massive scale

It's closer than you think. About a year or two ago,it was purposed that Pediatricians be allowed to perform a modified clitorectomy,this to satisfy the cultural and religious dictations of the backward Muslims.

They’re giving in.

Right after 9/11, my buddy, who had to run away from the sight of the Twin Towers exploding,from fifty or so blocks away, walking with her stroller bound child, complained to me that when she, months later, as shopping at a local mall, was offended by the sight of weapon laden National Guardsmen patrolling for signs of a repeat.

The logic is very twisted. They are much less offended, outwardly, anyway, by well...anything else.

I have many other anecdotes.

But this describes the situation as well as any.

Smells like surrender to me.

The first thing that came to mind was, “Husbands, love your wives, even as Christ also loved the church, and died for it.”

Then I remembered that all cultures are equal.

“About a year or two ago,it was purposed that Pediatricians be allowed to perform a modified clitorectomy,this to satisfy the cultural and religious dictations of the backward Muslims.”

My understanding is that what you’re describing is a “ceremonial nick”, intended to provide a symbolic adherence to this barbarous tradition without doing permanent damage to the baby’s clitoris. (We can’t mince words when discussing this obscene depraved culture.)

This is clearly another example of the “cooking-a-frog” paradigm. Get everyone used to “ceremonial nicks”, then insist that a small cut would be more “mulit-cultural” and before anyone notices girl babies born in European hospitals will be having their genitals mutilated at taxpayer expense.

Meanwhile the Left in America is doing everything it can to undermine the Judeo-Christian culture here that for now is preventing this sort of atrocity.

Throughout history, poverty is the normal condition of man. Advances which permit this norm to be exceeded — here and there, now and then — are the work of an extremely small minority, frequently despised, often condemned, and almost always opposed by all right-thinking people. Whenever this tiny minority is kept from creating, or (as sometimes happens) is driven out of a society, the people then slip back into abject poverty.

This is known as “bad luck.”

Robert A. Heinlein

This is a look at our future.
