The Indelible Bonobo Experience

I didn’t want to hit her
But she hadn’t given birth to enough children.

A debate in Hungarian parliament about domestic violence legislation went nuclear when MP István Varga (of the ruling Fidesz party) explained that:

The most important calling for women and ladies, especially for young ladies, is to give birth. It is obvious that if everybody gave birth to two, three or four children, a gift to the fatherland, everybody would be happy. After that task is over, every woman can fulfill herself and may work at different jobs.

And:

if three or four or five children were born, members of the family would respect each other more and then the question of violence within the family wouldn’t even come up.

Well, okay. Thanks for the input.

There was this German dude asking the same of German ladies. Only that he talked about “Vaterland”.
