What is the meaning of the second symbol?
@Whelyous: I’d like to see the wording on that UNICEF survey. I mean, I also believe that under certain circumstances, a husband is justified in hitting his wife… that is, only in self-defense against an assault. In particular, I am suspicious of the data-point that fully one-third of Indian women in the wealthiest quintile responded that they believe a husband is justified to hit his wife under certain circumstances. If you’ve ever met an Indian woman in the wealthiest quintile in India, you’ll understand my skepticism.
Clayton -
We have to keep in mind that the richest quintile in India is 250 million people. I found this: “even urban India alone has no middle class; everyone at over $10 a day is in the top 5% of the country.” Maybe, when picturing rich indian women, we have the richest ten million or so in mind, not the typical person in the richest quintile. Also, this tolerance of domestic violence might be a particular problem of Indian culture.
That being said, the point of that graph really wasn’t the particular number of women tolerant of domestic violence, it was that the percentages line up with income, both within countries and in comparison between countries. We could rephrase the question or ask something similar, and still get the same correlation. This shows that gender equality is really just a side-effect of wealth, i.e. free markets, not of “feminism”.

Well, I sort of agree, but I wasn’t the one who brought it up

Causation/correlation much? So many confounding variables…
haha Wheylous… I have no idea why I addressed that response to you instead of EmperorNero…

You’re implying that there is a causation. Prove it to me.
Haha, that looks like Cross-Site Scripting.
