KaganLover. I think you have missed the big picture here...because one person spoke out - many many people have connected here who are completely outraged at what we saw. We came together on this forum to discuss similar ideas. We don't go on the threads of people who are pro-slapping but we do not notice that you always come to ours and taunt and insult us and then request for our threads to be shut down. You want us to leave but show no respect that what we bring here is a valid point that is seriously damaging to our society. Forums are very powerful social media entities and an avenue to voice discontent. We are voicing it here and elsewhere.
The issue is serious as it teaches women that this is an essence of a relationship and that is not the case. Abuse incidents among South East Asians are higher than ever and when the media - a major form of social control continues to perpetuating a myth that this is normal and even attractive, it makes our work a lot harder.
