Pakistani husbands can beat wives if they disobey, says Islamic Council : Pakistan, News – India Today
The bill said that a husband should be allowed to lightly beat his wife if she defies his commands, refuses to dress up as per his wishes and turns down demand of physical contact.
It suggested that a beating is also permissible if a woman does not observe Hijab, interacts with strangers, speaks loud and provides monetary support to people without taking consent of her husband.
It also recommended to ban co-education after primary education, ban on women from taking part in military combat, ban on welcoming foreign delegations, interacting with males and making recreational visits with strangers.
Female nurses should not be allowed to take care of male patients and women should be banned from working in advertisements, it said.
It also recommended that an abortion after 120 days of conceiving should be declared murder.
sigh…
All of this begs the question, who is in charge of beating the husband when they do not live up to the expectations of others?

Strangers posing in photographs together. No, seriously it works out better than you’re thinking
Photographer Richard Renaldi approaches random people he meets on New York City’s streets and asks them to pose in photos together as if they actually knew each other. Despite the fact that these people are requested to show a brief, fake sign of affection to each other, what the photographs reflect is unbelievable.
Wild. Seriously, very cool!
Police Escort Black Merit Scholar Out of Graduation After Refusing to Remove Kente Cloth – Atlanta Black Star
An 18-year-old Black student was removed from graduation after he refused to take off his kente cloth. Nyree Holmes attended the diverse but predominately white Cosumnes Oaks High School in Elk Grove, California. In a story he shared on Twitter May 24, the merit scholar says he was able to walk across the stage, but police officers greeted him at the other end.
This is ridiculous. You can’t tell me no girls had jewelry on or that they wouldn’t let a Polynesian student wear a lei. Good on this kid for standing up for himself. I hope he and his family sue the school system so hard it goes bankrupt.

‘My country right or wrong’ — indoctrination in defense of Israel
Those of us who vigorously criticized the Vietnam War then were no more “anti-American” than those criticizing Israel’s occupation of the Palestinians today are “anti-Israel.” To the cries of “My country right or wrong,” we responded, “My country right or wrong; when it is right, keep it right; when it is wrong, make it right.”

Anti-Choice Groups Use Smartphone Surveillance to Target ‘Abortion-Minded Women’ During Clinic Visits
Women who have visited almost any abortion clinic in the United States have seen anti-choice protesters outside, wielding placards and chanting abuse. A Boston advertiser’s technology, when deployed by anti-choice groups, allows those groups to send propaganda directly to a woman’s phone while she is in a clinic waiting room.
…“You can grab an uncomfortable amount of information from someone’s device and the apps they use,” said Solis. “It’s unfortunate, but any woman who plans to visit an affected Planned Parenthood, or anyone who works for Planned Parenthood, should be afraid.”
What the ever lasting fuck???!!!

The Two Asian Americas
In the eyes of some, Asians in America are, Lee writes, “perpetual foreigners at worst, or probationary Americans at best.” If Asians sometimes remain silent in the face of racism, and if some seem to work unusually hard in the face of this difficult history, it is not because they want to be part of a “model minority” but because they have often had no other choice.

‘Sperm Is Life And We’ve Gotta Legislate That Sh*t’ – Sarah Silverman
[Silverman] posed a pertinent question – she suggested that since we defend the right to enact laws that makes it difficult for women to terminate unwanted pregnancies, shouldn’t we also legislate male masturbation?
“Here’s something that I learned that is fascinating, and it’s this: Scientists have found that sperms cells smell,” Silverman said. “Like I know sperm smells, but sperm cells have the sense of smell, and you know what that means: Sperm is life. And you know what that means: We’ve gotta legislate that shit.”

How a One-Lunged Shawnee Indian Invented Punk: Link Wray, “Rumble” and the Meanest D Chord Ever
It seems unlikely that you could draw a straight line between the roaring, shredded power chords wrenched out of the ’53 Les Paul wielded by a Korean War vet in 1958 to Steve Jones’ “punk” rock riffs with the Sex Pistols on his Les Paul nearly two decades later. But Fred Lincoln “Link” Wray, a half Shawnee Indian born dirt poor in rural North Carolina, changed rock guitar forever with his ’58 instrumental hit “Rumble.” Even the leather jackets adopted by bands like the Pistols and the Heartbreakers were a throwback to Link Wray, the other Man in Black, as were the riffs and power chords he pummeled into existence with the Wraymen, which included his brothers Vernon and Doug. The unrepentant father of distortion and the power chord was born to semiliterate street preachers and started playing guitar at age eight, when a black circus performer named Hambone showed him a few chords and how to play slide guitar.

This is a discipline problem and the brass needs to weed it out and eliminate it, yesterday. Not ignore it. Not sweep it under the rug. Not confuse it with normal behavior but come down hard and fast and make it very clear it will not be tolerated in the United States military.
There is a direct line from these types of unacceptable breakdowns in military discipline and the problems we are having negotiating base locations with countries like Japan right now.
Anything other that completely eradicating this behavior is a grievous dereliction of duty on the part of military brass.
