Obligatory "Fucking TOLD!"

To the discussion at hand;

I'm not sure what to think, on one hand I agree with the top Youtube comment of

"In a strict school where teachers are backed up by administration (Like my Catholic school) any teacher of either gender would definitely do this and more (if it ever got to this stage which would be hard to imagine) If the teacher sent for either the dean (female) or the principal (male), those guys would be in tears when they were finished with them and possibly expelled. The principal has grabbed bigger guys by the scruff of the neck for far less!"

I've definitely seen female teachers who had administration backing handle fighting girls this way, and generally misbehaving boys, though with mostly "Your parents will know your being an ass" the principle threat. I specify "girls fighting" because I have personally witnessed such a case, but I never saw 2 boys fight directly in front of female exclusive faculty at school (the one time 2 guys got into it was with a male and female teacher, and he very much took the lead in the situation), and it may have been different, but I'm also not convinced it would be either.

I've also seen male teachers with generally the same success in all the above scenarios, including two boys fighting. The only real difference being that they, and the teacher in this video, gave off a "Father Voice". That is to say, a very clear "Shut the fuck up and listen, I'm the goddamn Alpha", but in a positive way (if that makes any sense).

I don't really like the tone of the person who put up the video. "Do you have evidence that a female has done this?" It just looks like he's trying to turn this video into a man vs. woman argument, and try and "prove" that men are better because of his unscientific experiment.

This is how we teach limits.

Does anyone else not think the whole "take it off school property" mentality is extremely reckless and inadequate? Rather than trying to teach them to deal with the issue in a constructive way, he just encourages them to deal with it in a violent/destructive way off of school property(only difference being that he, and the school, are no longer liable for it). If that kid was being bullied and the bullying then just happens outside school property, that bullying is still taking place. The damage would still be done. That boy would still be told that his suffering doesn't matter, that no one cares about his problems and that he shouldn't be expecting help(all byproducts of male-expendability and gender expectations of masculinity). Why not deal with the issue instead of just turning a blind eye to it and encouraging street justice? Shouldn't the teachers have some kind of responsibility to intervene or, if they aren't capable or qualified to intervene, at least report to people who would be in a position to do so?
