Is a cultural perception that raising children and a family is being a slave. I personally find it a disgusting perception. I love my family.

I think more people will find disgusting walking over all the abuse women had to endure you did here.

earlier wife beating was „normal thing” leaving abusive partners was not possible or much harder than nowadays.

Then in a lot of places in the world it still is like that.

I don't know in what culture you were raised. My culture has no history of systematic wife beating.

Are you positive about this?

Am I positive about what? That my culture does not have a history of wife beating? Yes, I am positive.

I have no idea what your culture is, but the entire notion that domestic violence is something to be monitored and prevented by outsiders was invented very recently in most cultures. So my assumption is that it was pretty damn widespread everywhere, no matter what our ancestors like to tell us.

What kind of comment is that?

Do you feel superior or somehow you just make my argument not true because it didn't happen to you or anyone you know?

You definitely seem to be genuine asshole and I don't care what culture you were raised in because there are definitely nicer people from that culture.

I'm Jewish. We hold our women in high esteem.

I am at the gym, can’t talk.

Bro but you called.

I wouldn't characterize raising a family as slavery, I also won't debate the prevelance of domestic violence in Jewish families (those curious can google it), but pointing out that you're from a culture that represents a rounding error of the world population doesn't strengthen your argument.
