MP ADVOCATES MEN'S RIGHTS

This week I rejoiced when I read of a member of parliament advocating rights for men. At last it was being recognized that men suffer violence at the hands of wives and girlfriends.

But no. That was not what the MP meant. He was saying that men  have the right to punish their wives when they do wrong. Is he saying the man never does wrong?

So he is saying that the man is the boss of the family with the right to be violent to wives. That is bush kanaka thinking from way back.

Marriage is supposed to be a meeting of loving care between men and their wives. Both man and woman care equally for family. That is called gender equality.

That applies equally to gay and lesbian same sex couples who have a long history of domestic violence. Please click:
