Exactly, and there are still some good ladies out there. Hard to find and harder that they aren’t already taken. :)
I’m not taken. :)
No, corporal punishment for a 15-year-old male.
And I'm not so sure "punishment" is the proper word for it. It's more like laying down the law, establishing righteous boundaries, teaching the kid that there will be painful physical consequences for behaving like an ass, repercussions that mom or any other female in authority over a juvenile male cannot even threaten, let alone deliver, to an adolescent male who is disrespectful and abusive because he thinks "Corporal punishment? But I'm just a kid!" But adolescent boys are not children. They are young men, with all the physical power and passion and twice the hormones of older men.
In the real world, many an asshole male has gotten his ass kicked physically for being a jerk and thought twice about being a jerk again; a lecture would not have accomplished the same. It's the way boys and young men are wired. Girls are different. God made us that way.
So, in extreme cases, yeah. Corporal "punishment" for an out-of-control 15-year-old male. Absolutely.
This article is as stereotypical as any article published by the feminists. There are wussy men of any political stripe... some of the biggest loud mouth asshole bullies I’ve ever met, were lefty male’s who “supported” feminists. I think they saw it as an opportunity to do even less.
