BULLHOCKEY!!! You sound like one of the Me Tooers. HOW the father chose to punish his daughter is HIS Business and if he chose to hold her up for ridicule, HE thinks she needs it. Your pseudo analysis of him is laughable. Sounds like YOU are the narcissist and you certainly have no concept of REAL conservatism.
You sound like one of the Me Tooers.
The Me Too movement is a movement against sexual harassment and sexual assault. There wasn't any mention of carnal activity OR such harassment in their article OR my reply. Further, people in that movement generally come to the defense of the impacted women; in my commentary I said "Indeed, if she's been caught twice, she likely was a bully more often than twice...the kid is need of discipline...". Thus, your claim is rather baseless.
HOW the father chose to punish his daughter is HIS Business
The rights of a parent when it comes to the rearing of his/her child are (and should be) plenary. I never argued that the State or anyone else should intervene. But my dear FRiend...let us not forget the over-arching linchpin to this story: Mr Cox willingly and enthusiastically opened up HIS Business to the planet. All I did was provide a critique of HIS Business. As they used to say, don't play with matches if you don't want to get burned.
and if he chose to hold her up for ridicule, HE thinks she needs it.
Again, I am generally pleased that Mr Cox did something and didn't let her get away scot free. He can think all he wants about effective discipline. I think his choice of punishment won't be effective but, as noted earlier, I'm not recommending that anyone usurp his rights.
My criticism isn't so much with the punishment but with his laughably careless broadcasting of it. His "look at how tough a parent I am" selfishness vis-à-vis broadcasting it exposes his daughter and anyone else living with him to being stalked by a predator. Now, maybe Mr Cox already considered that risk and decided it was worth it...if that's the case then he's a worse parent than I thought originally.
Your pseudo analysis of him is laughable. Sounds like YOU are the narcissist and you certainly have no concept of REAL conservatism.
Wow...the ratio of wrong per word is huge right there. Let me see if I can unpack your point.
You consider it laughable that the risk of a predator stalking Mr Cox and his daughter - or him possibly losing his job or some other fallout since he made this a public matter - all outweighs his public shaming of his own flesh and blood. I encourage you to review the saga of Adam Smith, the CFO who uploaded his SJW-infused berating of a Chick-Fil-A drive-thru employee and got fired and had to go on public assistance because nobody would hire him.
I'm not sure where you find self-love in my post here or elsewhere. But the contention that every tiny little bit of one’s life should not be subject to some authoritarian’s idea about what is acceptable to the person in question, nor should it all go into some data bank that facilitates the government's oversight of your life, is the conservative contention. Thus anyone fawning over Mr Cox taking the Hillary/collectivist approach in making the entire Village the centerpiece of his child disciplining activities should re-examine their alleged conservative bona fides.
