WTF? More than third of Turkish women justify beatings by husband

According to the Agence France Presse, more than a third of Turkish women think that they deserve to be “beaten if they argue with their husbands, deny them sex or burn the meal.” Holy fucking shit. That is a seriously scary statistic (assuming it’s correct.)
The survey, done by Ankara’s Hacettepe University, also said that in rural areas, 57 percent of women said that their husbands had the right to commit violence against them.
At least the study was done because of the concern over domestic violence. The EU—which Turkey wants to join—funded the study along with the Turkish government to address women’s rights.
