She wouldn’t have been beaten if she’d just followed Arlen Sphincter’s demand that she “act like a lady.”

Okay, let me first say. I hate these 11th Century trash and their idiotic religion. But. These women are in the Sudan, not frakin Nebraska! What do they expect to happen?

“Why do people put up with this???”

For the eternal orgy promised to them by their fabricated moon-god allah. That and the fact that they’ll be stoned or hung if they don’t put up with it.

It wasn’t lashes, but I do remember being given a ‘verbal lashing’ a few decades ago for wearing jeans to school (here in the good old USA). I won’t say exactly how many decades.
