‘Back of the hand’ is an idiom for rebuke.

It is? When did that start being a thing? Last night?

Robert “Third” Reich would have to leap in the air to slap Sinema’s face. But then she’d probably hammer him down like a whack-a-mole.

Just an idiom for rebuke?

In 2019, the number of women in the United States who were victims of violence was 1,479,540 . This included from criminals such as rapists and muggers as well as domestic partners.
Can’t get a good figure for later years.

These women would differ about what rebuke has to do with that.

Well....she’d have to willing bend over for HIM to give her face a back-of-his hand ‘rebuke.’ IMO, he was being way too short with her determination. It was an extremely short-tempered response. The kind of response for which support would necessarily be low. In short, it was very small of him.

I think the exact quote from Robert Reich was that he wanted Sinema “Dwarf-handled.” the media cleaned up the quote to hide Reich’s fetish for Sinema.
