What ever happened to the good ole slap across the face?
That used to work for both sexes. The women needed to occasionally slap a guy for rudeness, and the men were allowed to slap the leading lady if she became ‘hysterical’.
The men are not allowed such leeway now with impunity, ‘hysteria’ or not. Many TV commercials seem to advocate spousal abuse if the woman is the abuser and her man is the recipient. Both are wrong.
