Men and boys have been treated so badly in America for the past 40 years that no one should be surprised that woman-hating runs deep in American males. The mother of a 9-year-old boy decides to divorce his dad because she's unhappy. Boy is now stuck with visiting his father every other weekend and maybe one night a week in a little run-down apartment (all dad can afford because the [anti]family law courts have him pay huge for child support).
If by the age of 15 the boy is getting pretty mouthy and needs his butt kicked figuratively and perhaps literally and dad does this as any good dad understands is his duty, then the courts can come in and punish the dad, make him apologize to the kid and the mom, and prove to the kid that mom's authority is stronger than dad's, not only in punishment but in humiliation.
The 15-year-old boy is in the short run gratified because mommy runs in to rescue him when dad rightly gives him a much-needed kick in the ass, but in the long run the boy realizes that this is all very screwed ... what promise is there ahead for HIM in the roles of father and husband?
Is there any wonder that teen boys in America today commit suicide at rates higher than any other group?
Damn right there area lot of woman haters in America. I can't blame them.
Corporal punishment for a 15-year-old?
