Russian newspaper tells women to be 'proud of their bruises' as state partially decriminalises domestic violence
New law will see offenders face fewer penalties One of Russia’s most popular newspapers has told women to be “proud of their bruises”, as the country partially decriminalises domestic abuse. The article, published by Komsomolskaya Pravda, came ahead of Russian President Vladimir Putin signing into law a new measure that will see offenders face fewer penalties. Yaroslav Korobatov, a columnist for the paper, said: “For years, women who have been smacked around by their husbands have found solace in the rather hypocritical proverb, ‘If he beats you, it means he loves you!’ “However, a new scientific study is giving women with irascible husbands new grounds to be proud of their bruises, insofar as women who are beaten, biologists confirm, have a valuable advantage: they’re more likely to give birth to boys!” The scientific study refers to research by Satoshi Kanazawa, a controversial evolutionary psychologist. In 2005 Mr Kanazawa published an article titled ‘Violent men have more sons’, and three years later another titled ‘Why do some battered women stay?’, in which he stated women “may have been selected to tolerate a certain level of nonlethal violence in their mates”. He has also stated African countries suffer from poverty due to “low IQs”, and that black women are “objectively less attractive”. The move to partially decriminalise domestic violence in Russia has sparked worldwide anger. The presidential action, which reduces the assault of a relative from a criminal offence to a civil one, has sparked fears it will send a signal that abuse is not a serious crime. http://www.independent.co.uk/news/world/europe/russian-newspaper-proud-bruises-vladimir-putin-domestic-abuse-violence-signs-controversial-law-a7570351.html |

An insect that beats a woman can never be a man.
Women are intrinsically weaker of the two. So any Insect that thinks he is tough for beating up on a weaker opponent is a sad excuse for a human. I also realize that many women are their own worst enemies, they goad, annoy, harp and often attack men, stronger men, hiding behind their femininity. A smaller man does not attack a larger man without expecting to be knocked down. Women want equality, but not the responsibility that comes with it sometimes. But to reiterate, a man should be able to walk away before he hits a woman. If he cant, he aint a man. |

Sometimes a man must fight to be a man. That is why we have soldiers and police, they have to hit and sometimes fight to keep us safe, Or do you believe that they should just walk away and let the perpetrator do what he likes? A man may also have to protect his family, I would not walk away and allow a man to assault my wife or child. Turning the other cheek is OK sometimes, but sometimes its suicide. The opportunity to walk away sometimes is not available. But with a woman, the weaker of the species, a man can always walk away, there is no excuse. |

His editing is a perfect example of TROLL behavior.
Short inane statements, changing twisting words and comments, goading the target into anger. Troll behavior is intrinsic in those of poor intelligence or a sad unfulfilled life. They attempt to drag others down thereby mistakenly believing that this makes them somehow superior. Trolls never contribute any positive or tangible comment to any OP as they have not the capacity to do so. Trolls are have Aspergers Syndrome in one form or another and have little understanding of morals or empathy. Generally a result of a poor child hood and an inability to mix with real live people, they use forums to attack and insult. Quote:

As an ex security guy - my policy was always, in civvie, to walk away - if they came for a second shot they took their chances. I had one guy who went for his fourth shot and was close to death...
As a serious man, many years ago I took an oath that I would not fight unless necessary... I nearly killed a guy... many mistake that for weakness.. but they do not understand that non-violence is strength and violence is weakness (grasshoppers).... |

Seems you are onto something. 14000 women die a year in Russia at the hand of their partners. One in four families in Russia experience domestic violence according to a representative of the Russian Ministry of Internal Affairs.[1] In a 2003 press release, Amnesty International claimed that, each day, 36,000 women in the Russian Federation were beaten by their husbands or partners,[2] In 2013, the BBC reported information from a Russian interior ministry that 600,000 women were physically or verbally abused at home and 14,000 of them died that year from injuries inflicted by their partner.[3] A 2008 article published in Journal of Interpersonal Violence regarding domestic violence among Russian college students found that "High prevalence rates were found for all types of violence, aggression, and [sexual] coercion. Consistent with previous research, male and female students were about equally likely to be victims and perpetrators of all violent and aggressive actions."[4] The situation is exacerbated by the lack of statistical data on violent crimes, which take into account the nature of relationship between the offender and the victim as well as gender breakdown,[5] and by the attitude of law enforcement officers that still do not regard such violence as a serious crime, but rather, as a "private matter" between the spouses[6][7] and avoid to "interfere with family scandals".[8] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Domestic_violence_in_Russia |

Not that we get off scott free.
Facts and figures Violence against women is now recognised to be a serious and widespread problem in Australia, with enormous individual and community impacts and social costs. However this significant social problem is also ultimately preventable. But to prevent violence against women we first need to understand it. Get informed with these key statistics, facts and definitions. KEY FACTS ¬The following basic statistics help demonstrate the prevalence and severity of violence against women: ¬On average, at least one woman a week is killed by a partner or former partner in Australia.1 ¬One in three Australian women has experienced physical violence, since the age of 15.2 ¬`One in five Australian women has experienced sexual violence.2 ¬One in four Australian women has experienced physical or sexual violence by an intimate partner.2 `One in four Australian women has experienced emotional abuse by a current or former partner.3 ¬Women are at least three times more likely than men to experience violence from an intimate partner.4 ¬Women are five times more likely than men to require medical attention or hospitalisation as a result of intimate partner violence, and five times more likely to report fearing for their lives.5 ¬Of those women who experience violence, more than half have children in their care.6 ¬Violence against women is not limited to the home or intimate relationships. Every year in Australia, over 300,000 women experience violence – often sexual violence – from someone other than a partner.7 ¬Eight out of ten women aged 18 to 24 were harassed on the street in the past year.8 ¬Young women (18 – 24 years) experience significantly higher rates of physical and sexual violence than women in older age groups.9 ¬There is growing evidence that women with disabilities are more likely to experience violence.10 ¬Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander women experience both far higher rates and more severe forms of violence compared to other women.11 WHAT DO WE MEAN BY VIOLENCE AGAINST WOMEN? Put simply, and using an internationally recognised definition, violence against women is any act of gender based violence that causes or could cause physical, sexual or psychological harm or suffering to women, including threats of harm or coercion, in public or in private life.12 As this definition makes clear, violence against women is not only or always physical. It includes psychological, economic, emotional and sexual violence and abuse, and a wide range of controlling, coercive and intimidating behaviours. In Australia, violence against women is called many different things, including domestic violence, family violence, intimate partner violence, sexual harassment and sexual assault. https://www.ourwatch.org.au/Understanding-Violence/Facts-and-figures |

What a stoopid statement. If any woman threatened ME personally, I would simply walk away idiot. I would even walk away from you and your ilk, what would be the point otherwise. You would be no threat to me, coward. I have fought some of the best Black belts in Australia, what would be the point in beating a weakling, cowardly, insulting, loudmouth poof up? Besides, you would never leave your mothers house anyway. The thought of actually meeting real people terrifies you. You have to insult people from the anonymity of a forum, because in real life you would be far far too cowardly to say anything to anyone's face. I can envision you now, head down, mumbled apologies as you crawl away to your safe computer screen. BUT if anyone, even a woman threatened the life of my family, its all bets off. However if she was just attempting to hit one of my family, I could easily restrain her until the police arrive. If you had just one ounce of brains you would realize that every single possible solitary scenario is not always considered. but in exceptional circumstances, exceptional actions are required. If you were half a man you would already know that. |

The troll is trying to use the arguments that he has had leveled at him, against those who are simply trying to elicit some sensible responses.
The fact is that Tinypecca is a TROLL, and as such has no idea of logical contribution, honest remarks, intelligent thought or empathy. As explained in my earlier post, he is simply a low IQ troll. Do we wish him dead, of course not, what is the point. Tis better to leave your adversaries alive so they can stew in their own defeat. Valkie wrote on Feb 10th, 2017 at 8:30pm:
