I said no salt

It appears that wife beating is a national sport in sub-Saharan Africa. The NYT reported that a majority of men and many women believe that beating your wife is justified if she is disobedient. Here is the best quote in the article.

"To Kenny Adebayo, a 30-year-old driver in Lagos, the issue is clear-cut. "If you tell your wife she puts too much salt in the dinner, and every day, every day, every day there is too much salt, one day you will get emotional and hurt her," he said. "We men in Africa hate disrespect."

This is multi-culturalism I can dig!
