Mother Orders Savage Beating To "Defend Family Honour"

Benjamin Adam Studtmann writes "I found a more detailed description of the savage all-girl beating that took place because someone kissed a boy on the cheek at a family birthday party. The story gets even better -- the beating was ordered by the matriarch of the clan. Even more amazing is that two out of the six females involved in this gang-bash were very much adults! To put it right over the top of surreal, the principal of the girls' school said, 'But for a lot of girls, it's all about respect, defending your turf, fighting for your man.' An adult-encouraged savage group beating is a form of respect? Another person's birthday party is 'your turf'? Fighting for 'your' 'man'? Since when is a male, of whatever age, an object or possession? Since when is a 13-year-old boy a 'man'? And what the hell kind of principal would say that? Can you guess the gender of the quoted principal?"
