If the application of justice was gender neutral then this girl should face prosecution for the new domestic violence law of controlling behavior.

It was a joke gift, settle down chaps.

Whether the law would've seen it that way were the roles reversed is though a fair question.

Is taking 18 years out of a man's life, freedom and pocket, against his will yet fully enforced by law, the ultimate example of coercive control?

But it's not...

I don't know anything about this law but it sounds like bullshit from the description. Isn't criminalizing "controlling behaviour" a slippery slope?

Pretty sure it's a joke. Lighten up.

cymrich · 2016-02-19T02:08:50+00:00

obvious joke is obvious... wtf is this here for?

although the other pic in the story is even better IMO... that is pretty much the type of dad I would be! lol

its a joke for fucks sake and the law is specifically not about single events buts sustained continued behaviour.

I fundamentally disagree with it (and the principle), but even so this incident or the reverse would not be grounds for anything

Man.. way to ruin a good joke, media. Could have gone the rout you did, or could have gone the rout that this shirt was a joke and bring up the issue of control, female jealousy, men being overly controlled by some women if you so choose.

When I saw just the picture originally, I thought it was funny, I thought it made a statement that women can be super controlling too, I thought it was poking fun at it.

I'm friends with this couple on Facebook. It was a gag gift, he thought it was hilarious.

reddit: "Man, it would suck to be that guy"

reddit-internally: "I would give my left nut to be that dude..."
