    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.
