Sorry Alberto, I didn't realize I googled a porn site!
In that case I must be wrong and men in Brazil only 
beat their wives when they ask for it.  Here, I thought 
the reason the incidence of domestic violence in the US 
went down, was because of the Women's Rights movement.  
I wonder if all those statistics about wife beating in 
other countries are wrong, also?
