Is this the opposite of the rule of thumb?

The so-called "rule of thumb" is a feminist fraud. The only reference to it in the entirety of legal literature is from the judgement in a single case out of millions, in 1868. This unusual ruling was appealed by the State.

In reality, it refers to an approximate rule or measure. Tradesmen and others may have used a "rule of thumb" because the first joint of that digit is roughly an inch long.

You mean the man might've been able to hit back? How barbaric!

'The rule of thumb' is almost-entirely a feminist propaganda myth, as noted by u/goodmod.

But-- that aside-- this Man In A Hole With One Arm Tied Behind His Back rule wouldn't be 'the opposite' of Rule Of Thumb.

Both rules are designed SOLEY to protect the woman. No concern for the man.

There was no statutory limit on how big of a stick a wife could hit her husband with.

In fact, according to a Karen Straughan video, a husband in some historic juristiction could be forced to endure a public gauntlet of pelting & beating, if he was the VICTIM of being beaten by his wife-- for his failure to regulate her bad behavior.

Sorry, but I'm failing to see exactly what's changed since medieval times; this seems an accurate analogy for contemporary family court.

Until I see a verifiable source, I'm assuming this is complete fabrication.
