is it is funny and cute in the same way when you are at a party and someone begins to tell a story of the UFO they saw, or the time an accident happens in front of you as you are going down the street, or when somebody shouts out that they committed some crime and you are the first to hear about it.
It is considered beyond the pale,extraordinary, outside the typical daily routine. Novel maybe, even racy and interesting because it breaks all the fabrications and training and programming society pummels at all of us.
This does not mean women hitting men is uncommon, it is quite common. I have been hit by two women, but I have never hit one myself.
It is also licentiousness in that women know if they hit you, they are above the law. So it makes both parties think it is further outside the programmed sphere of society.
It is also cute because women have a support system and they dfend each other and men defend women (barring a few exceptions), while a guy is not supported by other guys nor by women. Men think he probably deserved it, women think 'so what'.
It is cute til the pan hits your head of course, but that is a different story. I hope more of this stuff comes out in the open for obvious reasons.
Much of the initial coverage about Fort Hood turned out to be wrong. Is there anything wrong with that?
The accountability imposed by another country for the CIA's kidnapping and torture reveals much about our own.
