    But absolutely zero boys gave a shit about taking swats

    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.

      Sounds like the sort of thing a doctor says while explaining himself at an inquisition.

      I’m seeing conflicting research on a cursory look.

      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.

      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.
