call me old fashioned but the ideal amount of physical, um boundary setting, needed to guide young men in the world is non-zero

this physical correction needs to come from a stranger as a consequence rather than a parent as a punishment

the fact this is illegal means soft men who, often rightly, think there are no consequences for their actions

not saying I know how to make this legal in a reasonable way that doesn't have it's own consequences but I imagine this can be done in smaller high trust communities

@farcaster dev / dad / books, cooks, ski, code ~ there are many things of which a wise man might wish to be ignorant

It’s crazy how there is this distortion of reality about limits, especially young people, but literally physical correction shouldn’t be an option because maybe this can also create a new trauma or awaken something even worse and then the problem gets even bigger
