While it is frowned upon in the US, rates of wifebeating are actually higher than they are in India. The US has a rate of 33% compared to India's 20%.

Even worse is the UK's 45%.

It's also interesting to note that the US and the UK are among the only two nations in the Western world where beating children as a form of discipline is actually still legal. It's difficult to say that child beating causes wife beating, or that beating is so common in those countries that it is impossible to ban it.



I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
