Consequently twice as likely not to have a wife 🤣 fuck you. I'm not obeying anyone, ever, under any circumstance.
They're too young to have been married, where their wife will disabuse them of this concept very quickly.
Thanks "social" media
People of both genders in Indonesia (66%) and Malaysia (60%) were most likely to agree with the statement, compared with 23% in the US and 13% in Great Britain.
How do you act surprised with this is beyond me.
people don't understand that other cultures exist
Well, if they won't become American, we have to kill them all. -MAGA
The survey the article is based on is not of good quality (I'm being polite)... People without a proper degree in statistics should not be allowed to get anywhere near numbers... Here the [link] of the PDF: (https://www.kcl.ac.uk/assets/news/iwd-2026-global-charts-final.pdf)
Even with those numbers, it's still frustrating.
You can see in the data that the country dominates attitude. Using only the global averages against the generational buckets isn't very useful. I want to see the generational breakdown BY COUNTRY.

This is bait the guardian has been really shitty. I might just block them like fox news
If you think one gender needs to be subservient to another you’re either an evil person, a stupid person, or both.
Republican?
They’re both evil and stupid.
I am slowly discarding my differentiations between stupid and evil, there's a different, mysterious third thing that combines both but exists on its own. And whatever this thing is, it's raging through our population like fire through dry brush.
At some point I’m not going to care if the punch you’re swinging at me is from ignorance or not. I’m still getting hit and I’d be stupid not to defend myself.

Willful Ignorance. Choosing to remain stupid despite access to information.
Got me remembering Badiou's Ethics and how part of evil involves "fidelity to the lie" and actively denying the shared truth of reality.

So I question how much of this actually takes into account massive cultural differences and how that can skew the results since this is apparently a global survey.

As a Malaysian, i'll let you guess the reason.
It’s a country full of manosphere fans. Also religion.
We Asian are generally patriarchy and misogyny is rather common, but religion supercharge it to extreme level. You can tune in to popular malay radio station and they will bring on woman preacher that basically say woman should obey husband and do their role, and the woman host will agree to them. Self oppression is really common because they were taught that since as a kid. We're that deep.

Yeah that checks out. My Gen z girlfriend has said as much. She's into women and "men who are at least old enough to remember 9/11 clearly."
The Gen Z men she has dated were "rude, cruel, and more interested in controlling me(her)."

A buddy got married years ago at his wife's church, which meant part of the ceremony was the priest asking her to vow to always obey him and do whatever he asked without question.
Like, it wasn't just a part of the vows he rambled thru, it was its own separate thing and she had to respond "yes" or the priest wouldnt have married them.
Super fucking weird and everyone under 60 laughed.
Neither of them took it seriously, but she wanted married in her church, and her pledging total and lifelong obedience was a requirement the church insisted on.
Lots of people do take it seriously though
“Babe. Babe. You vowed. You vowed, ok? You HAVE to watch the MarioKart speedrun with me.”
