<More than a third of Turkish women believe they deserve to be beaten if they argue with their husbands or deny them sex, according to a new survey>
-------- JC response
This is Good News indeed for Men who choose to denigrate women. Even if they SEND ROSES to them after they finish denigrating them
Now......it appears that some Turkish Women ( greater than a third ) believe that it is RIGHT for a Man to Beat a woman "if they argue with their husbands or deny them sex"
In a related matter : A recent report by Amnesty International estimated that at least one third of Turkish women are victims of domestic violence in which they are "hit, raped and, in some cases, killed or forced to commit suicide".

PS: Perhaps the bigotted Men of Goa should go to Hyderabad and look for Turkish descent women. PITY that the Portuguese came to Goa and took away Goa from the Turkish Muslim king. OR ELSE, there still might have been Turkish Women in Goa - and our Pimpaos would not have to take their Circumscribed selves to Hyderabad !

Women in Indo-Aryan Societies
Aryan-Vaishnavism (Hinduism) is the most oppressive system on record in its suppression of women. From conception to death, woman had to suffer in uncountable ways (details after the basic section) :
* Child Marriage - Girls are to be married when 5 years old !
* Dowry - Vedas prescribe this pracitice
* Bride-Burning - if the dowry is insufficient
* No Property
* Mass Wife-Burning (Jauhar) - Often 100s are burnt at a time.
* Widow-Burning (Sati) - Sanctioned by the Vedas, Puranas,
practiced by Krishna's wives, it still continues.

2. Day and night WOMAN MUST BE KEPT IN DEPENDENCE BY THE HUSBANDS and (of) THEIR FAMILIES, and, if they attach themselves to sensual enjoyments, they must be kept under one's control.
55. Know that such is the law concerning the offspring of cows, mares, SLAVE-GIRLS, female camels, she-goats, and ewes, as well as of females of birds and buffalo-cows.
