The Washington Post ran this article earlier in the week. I tend to think it falls in the category of “man bites dog”. The story is newsworthy not as a how to fix the damages of an ass whooping, but the fact that such a tutorial exists at all.  Wife beating is an acceptable recreational activity and disciplinary method in Muslim culture. Buy off on their culture, buy off on their traditions. After-the-beating-moroccan-tv-airs-makeup-tips-for-hiding-domestic-violence/?

I don’t know what the seminars are trying to accomplish, but I’m pretty sure it is going to backfire. The effects of a good ass whooping are supposed to felt and seen long after the beating. To appear out in public behind make-up would appear to be a direct challenge to the husband. It would call to question his ability to discipline his wife. This could lead to a more severe beating in the future.

Rather than put lipstick on a pig an, effort doomed to failure, the wives need to learn how to administer an ass whooping without leaving visible marks. He has to sleep sometime.

Legend has it that Willie Nelson pissed off one of his many wives, but she let it slide, until the next time he smoked up a storm with his cronies. He laid down to take a nap and she sewed him into the bed.  She waited patiently for him to awake. Once awake, and trapped, she took a baseball bat to his ass, in order to discuss topics leading to her discontent. He still speaks fondly of her.
