Ethiopian women are treated quite badly by the males about them and yet consider it expected, according to IRIN.
Being mostly a Muslim nation, that is no surprise to those who know that females in Islam are worth less than dung. They are considered cursed from conception. Therefore, their lives on Earth are desperate. They don’t have any standing to speak of.
Those not Muslim in Ethiopia pick up the violence habit from the Islamic male fanatics. All along, the women who are violated regard it as their lot in life. Therefore, there is little done to combat it. It is a lifetime of brutality for females; yet from little girls through womanhood, most females in that country consider male abuse against them as what is to be anticipated as normal.
Nine out of ten females in that country "think their husbands are justified in beating them, a UN report said."
Females consider themselves to be deserving of male abuse. It is a culture "shrouded in silence," authorities stated in their official report. There is no real female advocacy in Ethiopia.
Muslim males may slit the throat or put a bullet in a woman’s head if the male considers her having disgraced the family. It is known as "honor killing" and takes place as I type.
Soccer stadiums during Saddam Hussein’s despotic rule were used less for soccer and more for murdering females in Old Iraq. A male could take the woman there and shoot her in the head. The male rules, whether it be husband, brother or uncle. He rules. The female is nothing.
In Egypt, 94 percent of females regard beating as a daily happening without protest. It is "acceptable."
In Zambia, 91 percent consider female abuse to be acceptable.
Egypt is mostly Muslim. Zambia has a large Muslim population. Apparently the Muslim custom of misusing females overshadows even other religions present. What Muslims do in regard to violating their females becomes the norm for those of even other religions or no religion.
Christians and Jews would disagree; but animists and Hindus enter into the abuse.
"According to the report, women in Ethiopia face terrible hardship, with more than 25,000 women dying during childbirth each year and 50,000 facing disabilities during birth.
"Only six percent of women have any kind of skilled help during their birth. Women also suffer higher levels of HIV infection than men and are less likely to enroll in schools - just 16 percent make it into secondary education.
"’Regrettably, a lot of women die during pregnancy. A large number of girls are subjected to harmful traditional practices on the pretext of culture and girls are married too early, without their consent and often to people they do not know,’ Hannah Abate, a senior gender expert with the government's women's affairs office, said."
Females live in poverty in Ethiopia. They are usually diseased with one ailment or another. There is almost total inequality for woman in Ethiopia. They are treated as animals, bearing "backbreaking tasks for up to 15 hours a day."
Yet do we hear protests in America from the National Organization for Woman? No.
They are into their own destruction programs against females. They destroy mother’s babies in the wombs. They destroy femininity and emasculate the males. They destroy the Judeo-Christian American heritage and the biblical moral history. They destroy divine absolutes for secularist’s relativism. They work to destroy the very gender they claim to represent.
