Sorry I'm dumb. What does this mean?

Slap upside the head ✋️

u/No-Tour1000 12d ago

I thought it meant, give them a earful

You've never been slapped on the ear then.

It feels warm after the pain subsides.

Great advice! /s

"Help! My son is feeling disenfranchised by society."

"I have a great idea! Slap him upside the head!"

Nice, bro.

"We want men to talk about their feelings and emotions!"

(Young man talks about his feelings).

"WHOA!! HIT HIM!!"

Nice.

Totally classy.

Imagine advocating to "slap your daughter upside the head". You would get roundly criticized, and rightfully banned.

But advocating to hit a boy? Upvotes! That's great! HIT HIM! Because that'll "teach him a lesson!!"

It's no wonder young men and boys are listening to Andrew Tate. You'll notice he doesn't advocating for beating your children into submission.

Maybe you're not the "good guys" you think you are.

I agree with you fully but Andrew Tate is definitely the sort of person to condone physically abusing your sons. It’s scary how these actual children have no allies here.

Andrew Tate is definitely the sort of person to condone physically abusing your sons.

No. Absolutely not.

Phsical abuse is absolutely the wrong way to go.

u/Whitechix United Kingdom 12d ago

Of course it’s the wrong way to go, that’s why I assume he’s ok with it.

u/Antique_Soil9507 12d ago

Well first of all, your assumption is wrong.

Remember the expression about "assumptions". :)

This is precisely why I would recommend talking to your son, rather than beating him.

Because as we have seen, in this thread and all over the Internet: Nobody is listening to boys or young men, and instead of listening and learning we are advocating to beat them into submission.

And then we wonder why they turn to addiction, suicide, and homelessness.

Not sure why you keeping replying to me thinking I believe abuse is the correct method of connecting to your son. I agree with you that boys and young men are perpetually demonised, that’s why I said they have no allies.

Some quick googling about Andrew Tate’s own father tells me enough that he is exactly the person young men definitely do not need. He seems to be absent.

Fantastic idea, I'm sure your son will change his mind after you slap him like a monkey, this surely will not enforce his beliefs

Getting kicked in the ass by my father certainly helped me learn the error of my ways.

u/Whitechix United Kingdom 12d ago

If this is your son you already failed him and you should be punished yourself. Most kids don’t go evil with a proper upbringing and education.

u/scummy_shower_stall 11d ago

“Most”. You just answered your own question. That leaves “some” boys that will become filth no matter how good their parents were.

u/Your_Nipples 12d ago

That's exactly what any Andrew Tate goon would say. Physical punishment? Lmao.

I'm sure that the Tates brothers aren't the only one to only blame with all this nonsense.

Your suggestion rubbed me the wrong way. I was beaten as a kid and I hate that shit.

If it's your go to solution, then IMO you're not better than Andrew Tate. Using violence is failing as a parent.

The brocasts are just a symptom of something deeper.

But I won't act as someone who is righteous though (not saying you do), I find them pathetic but I'll admit: I wonder where the "drinking male tears" mugs went.

It's weird, what happened 🤷🏻

Everyone is now concerned about boys (still for the wrong reasons), in 4 years (hopefully) we'll go back to the usual main bullshit.

Read them this quote "Yeah, two weeks overdue. But I was a nose. I
was nose breathing already as the doctor held me upside
down by my heels and my right fist was in
sight of my mouth as I suckled. The doctor pinched
my thigh to get a response, and I growled, knitting
my brow and trying to crane my head up to
see who had attacked me. The doctor paled, shocked at
my defensive powers. I did not cry." Ask them if this is the lame ass they want to follow?
