After a few months I explained to her that I was raised to respect women and it was not acceptable for men to hit women, but I told her if she ever slapped me again I'd slap her back. It was interesting because she didn't seem to be aware that she was doing it. She stopped slapping me but the relationship didn't make it, thankfully.stephen Hayeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17659054447637207734noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-616429342729383232017-11-18T14:54:26.576-05:002017-11-18T14:54:26.576-05:00I think this is the reason everyone loved Downton ...I think this is the reason everyone loved Downton Abbey...a time of grace and slaps...truly! We raised 4 boys and I can say they are very respectful of women. Probably because their Dad wouldn't allow any disrespect toward me or any other women in his presence or if he found out otherwise the slap would be the least of their problems! I work in an environment where male Docs used to have the OK to treat nurses as second class citizens. Very glad that has stopped and not tolerated in our hospital. Very good and timely post. No slap for you...just a nice pat on the back!yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-32599932834111490242017-11-18T14:27:18.954-05:002017-11-18T14:27:18.954-05:00Somehow I missed the slap generation.

I agree with you 100% Joe, we do need to do a better job teaching our young men and boys to respect women and the proper way to treat them, and also the proper way to act around them. There is no excuse for men crossing the line, and if we even get remotely close to that line, Bring on that Slap!<br /><br />I think you have come up with an excellent teaching tool to help get us all back on the same page, Slap! and another thing if you cross that line and get a Slap, you are not allowed to slap her because she hit you!<br /><br />Excellent post JoeJimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079471254681821763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-59671202161147055292017-11-18T11:16:03.733-05:002017-11-18T11:16:03.733-05:00A good many of the women bringing cases aganst men...A good many of the women bringing cases aganst men in this current free for all are, I feel, somewhat to blame for what happens to them. The men are in positions of power and the women want something from them...usually a leg up in their careers whatever that may be....so at the time of the 'happening' they say nothing and they get what they want. Is it fair for them to bring charges now? I don't know. Yes, bring back the slap and maybe the old knee to the groin.

My dad taught me to treat women with respect, and I've tried to teach my sons the same thing.<br /><br />The problem, as I see it, comes from the cultural conceit that women and men are not merely equals (ie, before the law, or in the eyes of God), but <i>identical</i>. And they're not. When a man and a woman have sex, the woman is the one who will get pregnant, if anyone does. And on average, men are bigger and stronger than women, and thus more able to impose their wills in a sheer physical way. So yeah, 50 years downstream from the effective end of 'The Slap', I would worry about what would happen to one of my daughters if she slapped a boorish man for his boorishness. <br /><br />Back in the 70s, I had a woman punch me in the stomach because I held the door for her. I admonished her that I didn't think that was quite the precendent she wanted to set. . .<br /><br />And just for the sake of saying so, I've gotten the manipulative fake tears from some otherwise proudly feminist women. . .<br />Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12044041773404411751noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-35374497995384984222017-11-18T08:35:52.190-05:002017-11-18T08:35:52.190-05:00I'm pickin' up what you're layin' ...I'm pickin' up what you're layin' down! But I agree with River. Men would slap back. Probably not those from our generation, but those younger. That's their attitude. "If she wants to act like a man, I'll treat her like a man." I've heard it from the kids squabbling at school.Valhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13025832536749983018noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-60420344839519412372017-11-18T07:11:24.182-05:002017-11-18T07:11:24.182-05:00I thought the slap was more of a TV/movie thing an...I thought the slap was more of a TV/movie thing and didn't happen in real life.

Women fought for their rights and got them and now the situation has worsened. Mind you, I look at some of the outfits women wear these days and often think to myself 'they're asking for trouble'. That is not an excuse, just a thought.Valeriehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12099030819314552958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-968059214758329257.post-47939041767355057592017-11-18T04:26:04.387-05:002017-11-18T04:26:04.387-05:00One reason I know for not slapping is that a lot o...One reason I know for not slapping is that a lot of men would slap right back. So much of the respect for others has been lost in the past few years. It's a sad world. So we need to focus on the happy and the good if we don't want to be dragged down.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.com
