“As usual, many are saying nothing. I’m saying what everyone is thinking and what I’ve always said, which is that men’s violence against women must fundamentally be addressed within a cultural context.” Thus, the Minister of Justice, Carlo Nordio, in Stresa, again sparked controversy over his words yesterday about violence against women.
“It would be an argumentative misery if I wanted to associate myself with everything I never said, even if I recognized those talents, among the few I had, to be obvious, sometimes even too obvious,” he added.
Male violence, adds Nordio, must be dealt with “naturally by law, oppression and red rule” but “is essentially a cultural rule. For thousands of years men have been accustomed to dominating and I would like to add that until fifty years ago in our law we only committed honor killings, that is, a crime consisting of the impunity of the husband killing his wife when he found out that she had had illicit sexual relations”.
“So chauvinism’s roots are so deep that it can only be fought from a cultural perspective,” he concluded.
