1/30/2006: Caning



Another day, another image of a man getting off on being inhumane and mean to a woman. In this case it's official policy though. It's Indonesia, where they have Islamic Sharia law, which takes its rules from the Quran. This woman is charged with the offense of staying in the same house as her boyfriend. She's taken in front of the Mosque and beaten for all to watch.

And, what punishment does the boyfriend get? Oh, yeah, right. Nothing.

It looks as if a woman, on the right, is speaking into a microphone. One can only imagine what she is saying to the crowd.

i wonder if she's expected to kill herself now? Or, do they gang rape her first?

So is this disturbing because it is punishment for something we don't consider a crime?
...because only the woman is punished?
...or because it is a public punishment?

In Christian history, women have had their heads chopped off for far less crimes than being in a house with another man.

I'm thinking Henry VIII type people who eventually - as we all know - start their own religions etc to get around rules which they find unfavourable.

I have a pet theory that Abrahamaic religions have a life cycle, based on centuries since founding...

I'm not sure what we will do when Mormonism gets to that point. Isn't that the most recent offshoot to a) claim a new prophet and b) survive?

Everything goes in cycles HM. It's called 'The Circle of Life'. Haven't you watched 'The Lion King'?

At first I thought that this post was about corporal punishment and then I tought: "You are too fucked up, what is your problem? It MUST be about decorative chair seat patterns, etc. and I thought I'd share a snapshot of an antique rush pattern that I have." So I clicked the link.

Her boyfriend is a complete balless ahole. I wonder what he was thinking about knowing what the punishment would be?

Dogma.

Probably, "Ah, we'll never get caught," just like she was. I mean, what sort of ball-less ahole risks unprotected sex, knowing what the punishment could be? Tons of 'em! And I even bet she'd rather be caned than be an unwed mother in her country.

maybe she was thinking, "I'm going to be in big trouble if someone finds out about this, but if I don't submit I will be hit/raped so I'll take my chances"

maybe he was thinking, "This woman has been tempting me for a long time now. She must want me even though it's against the rules, and after all, she did say no one would find out"

maybe neither of them were thinking? Maybe they're in love and he's already been punished? Maybe he's yet to be punished? Maybe she was trying to avoid an even worse situation elsewhere?

I don't think there are any black and whites in these sorts of cases. It's almost impossible for those of us from western societies to understand how some of these ancient societies really work or why the citizens of these countries allow these things to happen.

BTW, the emancipation of women in western societies is still a very new concept in the grand scheme of things.
