When did I say that it wasn't? Somali culture can be sexist but beating one's wife is discouraged by the culture. Traditionally, close relatives would intervene and speak to the husband if there was sign of abuse. That doesn't mean that it doesn't occur but it is not an established cultural practise to beat one's wife. Kidnapping a young girl to force her into marriage is not a common practise in Somalia while this article, among others, shows that it is in Ethiopia.
However, it is in Ethiopia. Having known people who lived in Ethiopia, married into Amharic families, and having read autobiographies of Ethiopians, there seems to be a distinct trend in Ethiopian culture of beating the wife as one does with their children, which is commonplace and does not illicit shock.

Did you measure the prevalence of qabilism of Somalis? Or the sexism of Somali culture? Or even the consumption of bananas during dinner - otherwise how do you know it's an established custom in Ethiopian culture? One can determine the prevalence of a cultural practise based on observation as well as examining the culture's values.
r u sirius?
in traditional xabashi dances, do they do interprativ bitchslaps? wen picking a bride, does tha muvainlaw check how much backhand ole girl can take? how in the flyin fuk can u call it a cultural practis?

individuals, it is still an ignorant blanket statement. dat u say a crime is a cultural custom shows nothin but arogans.

England, Minnesota, New Zealand... if its so against tha somali culture, y was it nesessary 4 ther 2 be projects specifically to address it in virtually every area with a somali community?
“Back in Somalia, women experiencing domestic violence are supported by the rest of the community and incidents are addressed in a communal way. In New Zealand this community response is harder to achieve, this is why we have provided training for elders and developed relationships with Police and Preventing Violence in the Home,” Mahad Warsame, chairperson of the Auckland Somali Community Association, said.
dat u did not post 1 single piece of backup speaks volumes. last i chekked, cultural practises r reflected in the litriture, music n such of dat culture. bt i am not surprised.
everything u sed was anecdotal. all that ses is dat the conviction wid which u meke dese weighty claims n ignorant statements as tho u an authority in cultural comparisons cld b born out of personal bias n superioriti complex.
n i aint evan trollin wenisay dis
is 1 thing 2 say it is common in a community due to cultural atitudes, bt a diffrent beast entirely 2 say the domestic violens itself is a cultural practice (n compare it 2 traditional cuisine). do u not kno the diffrens? imean rili now. how ignorant can u be.
i usuwaly apreciate u as a poster, but ur posts in this thred provoked disgust n disapointmen
