Yup. I remember my first abusive husband, a Saudi, telling me about his mother's advice. She told him to break his wife's spirit completely, then reshape her into what he wanted her to be.

My response was...but then I wouldn't be anything like the woman you married, would I? .

I was 18 yrs old.

Anyway, a lot of women just can't see past their personal disapproval and narrow-mindedness.
