Outrage as Ugandan MP says 'beat your wife'
 
A Ugandan MP has been told to apologise to victims of domestic violence after saying men should "beat" their wives.

Onesimus Twinamasiko said on Ugandan television channel NTV "as a man, you need to discipline your wife.

"You need to touch her a bit, you tackle her, beat her somehow to really streamline her."

His words have met with strong criticism from social media users, with one leading women's rights group in Uganda saying he should seek therapy.

Men still have the power and authority in Uganda. I'm not even sure if women can vote in that country... I hope so.

Maybe someone should say its ok to beat a black man and really streamline him. I wonder how well that would sit with this Ugandan MP. What would he likely be screaming at the top of his voice then I wonder!

There was still a law in the UK which stated it was ok to beat your wife with a stick as long as it was no thicker than your thumb in 1991.

Progress is VERY slow.

You know you're right, that was the legal right to rape your wife that was repealed in 1991.

I was referring to the 'rule of thumb'
