Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Do you really think life is this simple? What I see is men do things that they were taught to do to funcion in a given society, things they need to do to survive, things they like doing just for themselves (a very good motivation) and occasionally also things to look good in front of women (not necessarilly theirs). I think in most marriages men display a mixture of behaviours the woman likes and dislikes (sometimes even hates). Despite doing things the woman hates, a man can still often have sex with her either because she also sees the good things, she wants sex and is willing to overlook the bad things or she has no power to choose otherwise... life is really complicated. If men did only things women liked, the world would be completely different.

I mean, at the end of the day the wives either approve of their husbands actions and reward them or don't. To them, it's better to be with a man who gets paid to kill little girls than one that doesn't. That's why they're with them, lol.

Yeah, it really is that simple. Sorry you're trying to overcomplicate things.

I think your 'oversimplicity' argument would hold more water against those saying it's just the men of iran who are to blame.

You seem to ignore the facto that some women just don't get to choose.

Most of them do.
