Ugly Women Get Reprieve - Women's Lib Complete

"Calling one's wife ugly may soon be considered an offence under a Malaysian law that seeks to protect a woman both physically and emotionally."

So says this report from the Hindustan Times. I'm not sure how this makes much sense because a violent husband may not call his wife ugly in the first place. He may use some other choice words or just launch into the physical violence directly. I also wonder if the 'ugly' is for purely subjective views or objective ones like Susan Boyle's ugliness. Although that is superficial, skin-deep ugliness. What about someone being a really ugly person at heart, like a pedophile intestine-chewing, grave-robbing necrophile? Nope, I guess that is out of bounds too because it might hurt that woman's feelings. The same probably applies to calling a woman fat, balding or telling her she has smelly breath.

I'm guessing the counterpart to this law, you cannot insult a man's penis due to the permanent emotional scarring, should be out soon. Can't let women have all the power in the world now, can we?
