That piece of apologia leaves me perplexed.
It's ok for men to have the authorisation to beat women because men are supposed to protect them...from men? That's a very stupid justification. In the end, men beat women and that's the problem. I have a big problem with people who beat women and I have a big problem with people who don't beat women, but spend time trying to find excuses to for those who do. What's so complicated with don't beat women. If they don't want to do what you want them to do convince them using words and arguments. If it fails, maybe you are simply wrong and accept the fact that they don't have to obey you. Apparently that was too revolutionnary for abrahamic religions.
