Scroll right for my reply ... I'm sure they will thank me for my clarity of thought 😁

"Husbands who need a beating.

Men don't play by the rules women follow, and in some cases a baseball bat may be the only answer.

My indignant brothers are about to boo me off the stage. Some will argue violently and others will merely throw spitballs. All right, let 'em.

I am all for the writer of the following letter. I think it's a pip. Is it real? All too real, and all too universal. The lady who writes it prefers to be anonymous. She's a woman of sense. In this case I would dig a deep cave and pull it in after me. Says she:

"the thing that gets me down is the attitude a husband has relative to a woman and her responsibility to her position and the public. I never have been able to understand just why a husband gets it into his head that he, and he alone, is capable of choosing the best and that is invariably his own,

and whom she should speak to and why.

"A woman's life is simply made miserable by a husband who insists, when his wife meets someone she is acquainted with and speaks to him that she should spend the next thirty minutes explaining just who she was and under what circumstances she got acquainted with him and why she should speak to him for that reason anyways.

Then it is tough when a woman cannot have any friends except those her husband picks out for her. He is the sole judge as to the proper associates she should have."

Original text, gender-swapped. Who's up for posting this new version somewhere and see how many people will see it as "long-overdue female empowerment"?

My personal opinion, on both the original and genderswapped version is that while I believe using violence to solve a problem is usually the fastest and most reliable way to end up with a different problem, no one should tolerate the coercive control tactics plainly described in that text.

Can you link to the original post?

In the excerpt given the only person that seems to be advocating for violence is the author lady but it's such an inflammatory title that I wonder if its deliberately that extreme just to draw people's attention. What is the actual argument she makes?

In my opinion, there is definitely an impasse if a wife starts becoming controlling or abusive and there is literally no recourse for the husband or anyone else around. It's possible that the author is writing about that situation and just using extremely inflammatory language.
