In Western countries, beating wives is not only American. The British man, who has always been regarded as a gentleman, is not inferior to the American man by beating his wife, or even worse.
English men beat their wives
British men beat wives, social welfare workers have long investigated and announced to the public, and there are "shelters" in major cities for women who have been beaten by their husbands and have nowhere to hide. These "shelters" are bursting with people everywhere and are very overcrowded. In the past, the relevant departments have publicly screened the crowding of "shelters" on television, but strangely, they did not file complaints to the society on behalf of women, did not persuade men not to beat their wives, did not propose how to protect women, let alone talk about "human rights", but only asked the social people to donate more houses to them. The result is an invisibility that wife beatings are considered "legalized" and that others have no right to interfere, and that more women will go to "shelters" to take shelter. "Shelters" are only temporary shelters and have little effect on the reality of discrimination and persecution of women.
The older generation of British men, in order to maintain gentlemanly demeanor, in the social field or when outside, always put on a "female first" hypocrisy, help the wife to walk, open the car door for the wife, take off the coat for the wife, pull a chair for the wife to sit, whisper to the woman, gentle and courteous. People who do not know the details still think that they are educated, highly educated, and respect women, and do not know how many Asian women are envied. In fact, the so-called "female first" is just a kind of courtesy in the social field, whether at home or in society, it is still male first.
Now the younger generation, they have completely torn up this mask, with the "heroic" nature of big men, openly beating wives and openly abusing women. Venting hatred and anger against society on the wife has become a kind of ethos, and even regarded it as a kind of "fashion". This group of "heroes and good men" are the masters of beating wives, and women have become lambs for scapegoats.
In the streets or stations of britain, this phenomenon is often seen: the man walks in front, does not take anything in his hand, or only takes a newspaper, the woman follows behind, pushing the child's car with one hand, holding a large bag of things in the other hand, people are crowded, walking breathlessly, the man in front not only does not help her, but loudly drinks, asking her to go faster. It shows the majesty and power of "heroes and good men".
In Britain, if someone beats a dog or a cat, someone will immediately call the police and be blamed by people; if the wife is beaten, although the beaten woman shouts for help, no one will go to the rescue, and everyone thinks that the husband and wife fight is a private matter of the family and should not be taken care of. The ancient Chinese women's methods of treating their husbands were: one crying, two hungry, and three hangings. Very few modern Western women use the method of crying, because those "heroes and good men" are not people who pity xiangxiang and cherish jade, and crying is useless. If you hang yourself, you must be dead. A woman who is beaten by her husband endures what she can endure, and when she can't bear it, she can only fight with the other party with her old life, or run away, and the consequences are terrible!
Why beat the wife
When asked why some men beat their wives, some laugh and don't answer; some say some reasons that are not reasons, and most of them can't even say the reasons themselves.
There was a tricycle worker with four children, who had a low income, who did not have enough money to spend, and the children could not go to school. His wife wanted to wash people's clothes, but he didn't agree, so she had to wait for him to go out, secretly go to wash people's clothes, and go home to take care of the housework before he went home, and earn some money to let the children go to school. However, when he found out later, he beat up his wife and forbade her to work again. The wife went to wash someone's clothes and did not do anything improper, so why not let her go to work? It turned out that he thought that it was a shameful thing for a man to have a big husband and let his wife go out to work for others. This is all about men-centered and the idea of maintaining men's dignity.
Ask an intellectual businessman, why did he beat his wife? He said simply: "All women in the world can be killed, all are villains, and they are all evil water!" "How deep the residual thoughts are in people's minds.
Why do men beat their wives? This is indeed a question worth exploring, and the real social cause lies in the inequality between men and women and the discrimination against women. However, as far as the current social situation is concerned, the complete emancipation of women is not easy!
