We had “optional” corporal punishment.
You could choose swats with a paddle, or writing sentences over and over.
Most people took swats, but I just picked sentences and never did them. They’d double the amount a couple times and eventually stop asking for them.
But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats, it was no deterrent what so ever. Even knowing that there was an easy way out of the alternative, they’d just take swats and immediately forget it happened.
If anything it made behavior worse, because they could do whatever and then have a few seconds of discomfort later if and only if they were caught doing the bad thing.
Great time to remind everyone that the adult men who administer corporal punishment in schools do in fact take great pleasure in spanking teenage girls, and that girls opt-out of it more than boys because they know it will border on sexual assault.
Girls have a higher pain tolerance than boys. They just know the horrific implications of being alone in a room with an older man who has authority and permission to use violence.
Oh yeah, I think girls didn’t even have the option.
I dont know if the girls gym teacher just wouldn’t do it, or if none of them picked it, but none of them got swats.
But almost every gym class there was a line of boys waiting.
This is a thing that happens?
Just ask current Auburn University head football coach Hugh Freeze.
Well that was disgusting.
It’s okay. He said he loves Jesus. We’re all fine!!!
Sounds like the sort of thing a doctor says while explaining himself at an inquisition.
I’m seeing conflicting research on a cursory look.
Im sure you have sources right? Would you share them so we can all spread the word?
What do you need a source on? I am not that poster but I am a professional dominatrix and I will vouch that women, including transwomen, tend to have much higher pain tolerance than men. This is pretty well known in BDSM. Note that doesn’t mean women don’t feel the pain - they definitely do. They can just take a lot more pain and for a lot longer time than most men.
As to the other part - duh. It’s pretty obvious a teacher would use any excuse at physical touch as an opportunity to assault a student if he was so inclined. That’s how most predators operate, who get away with it - in the realm of plausible deniability. Predators are always looking for that wiggle room that gives them space to assault while simultaneously denying it. It’s why they prey on children in the first place.
At my school, the principal wasn’t allowed to paddle girls. Only boys.
I don’t know who made that rule but I can imagine why.
I had heard from a guy from singapore that many young men had the idea around the canning that they could do that standing on their head kind of thing.
I don’t think that guy could take a Singapore caning and remain conscious, much less standing.
he talked like you could get one or two so it was like a macho thing. Oh you had 3, yeah I had 5 the other week no problem. I mean he was from singapore but may have been full of it I suppose but he did not come off that way and I knew him for a few years as he was in an academic program related to the lab I worked in.
Im sure you have sources right? Would you share them so we can all spread the word?
We’ll. Unless you want me to call up my middle school gym teacher I dont really know what you want me to do here champ…
But part of that is because you replied to a long comment asking for a source without mentioning what you were talking about.
Even then, looking at my entire comment I have absolutely zero idea what the fuck you’re asking for here.
Ah dammit. I replied to the wrong comment, sorry.
I was looking for the one that says men mostly love hitting girls for sexual reasons and girls have a much higher pain tolerance. Or something to that tune.
