    Sexist vintage adds. Ah how political correctness and feminism have changed the face of advertisement

    I dunno. I looked back at that ad and the lady doesn't seem entirely distressed by the spanking. Naughty housewife. She did it on purpose for a bit of fun from her hubby :P

    This brings to mind a conversation I had some years ago with a young lady of my acquaintance. She was discussing marriage ( don't they all?) and I was trying to explain that the difference in our characters would mean that I would be upset by her behaviour from time to time. and she replied with an expectant smile "Would you beat me?" If I had said yes , I would have been finished so I said that I could never beat a woman and, consequently, have remained blessedly single.

    I don't quite follow. Why would saying you could never beat a woman keep you single?

    Did you look at those ads? I think you may enjoy them

    The implication being that some women expect to be beaten as part of the marriage contract, although in the case I am referring to, the woman concerned wasn't of western origin.
    Yes, I saw the ads and they are indidcative of past attitudes to womans' position within society as a whole. However, the whole problem with the feminist approach is how, given females inherent superiority (think of your mother here) , do we continue to retain a semblance of superiority in the face of a resurgent feminism?

    There's a small group in USA, whose details I won't divulge here for reasons which will become obvious, whose membership are practitioners of spanking and assorted corpral punishments, not as a fetish, but as an agreed "club" method of keeping one's womenfolk on the straight and narrow.

    One of the club's premises was that women should be given a good spanking weekly just to let them know who's boss. Many of the women complained about their husbands not giving them their weekly discipline.

    It's not just non-westerners...
    Go to work, get married, have some kids, pay your taxes, pay your bills, watch your tv, follow fashion, act normal, obey the law and repeat after me: "I am free."

    wow. I want those women's phone numbers... and not for liscivious or dating purposes.

    I would love to sue the crap out of their husbands. I would bet I could get a jury to squeeze them of what they are worth.

    and now that I'm thinking of it, I bet you could get them to garnish the full 50% of their wages from the divorce.

    Yeah, they keep a very low profile.

    Wait you are a lawyer? .. or just someone after the monies, 'cause I don't understand how you would get it otherwise.

    Not so low, one of the couples was on TV, a couple of years a go. Channel 4 or Five documentray. About western marriages where women stay home do all the house work and still run around pamering the men . Because and I quote ( not this bit but just to say God bless semi photographic memories )
    " A man should be master of his own home. I used to think the way you peobably do, but I have learnt better. Sometimes its like having 4 babies, but a man desreves to be come home and not have to do anything."
    I got very annoyed and continued out of the room at that point. But you could tel the guy was very annoyed by the 4 babies comment, his wife made. Also her English family were not amused.
    The documnetray came on folowing the annoying rise to popularity of that Domestic Goddes woman, can't rember what she is called, but she goes around telling people how to fold their sheets.

    The moment a man gets married, he ceases to be master in his own home. What beats me, however, is why aren't we masters in our own thread?
