Isn't it ridiculous, all these years after
Emily Pankhurst and her suffragettes worked so hard to establish and
improve the rights of women, and countless wannabes since have thrown
in their own few pence worth to get us where we are today, that one woman I know
(me) still has a yearning for the days when men naturally assumed it was
their right to spank their women. I don't mean beat them up, oh no none of that
thank you, but to spank them as and when they saw fit.
The topic cropped up the other day after a Labour
candidate came to our door and introduced himself to me, he wanted my vote,
trying to oust the current incumbent, and he stressed the importance
of using it. I told P about him, P agreed I should use it, it had taken a
long time for women to get the vote, men too for that matter, and it was a right
which shouldn't be ignored through disinterest or disillusionment with modern
day politicians. I told him I thought not all aspects of emancipation for women
had been for the better and when he enquired further, needless to say my answer,
tongue in cheek, was that the right of a husband to, ahem, punish a wife or
minion corporally was a sad
loss.
P disagreed with me! He said he didn't think
it had ever been a right it was more of an assumption, that it wasn't a
thing laws could or should control, it was a matter between two people,
simple. So I asked him if he felt he had the natural right to spank me when
he considered necessary. He said yes of course and that would be the case for as
long as I acquiesced. He said I should look at it in different light, in
which I have rights too, equally important to his and one of those was the
right to be spanked amidst all this nonsense about what's politically
correct or not.
I thought about that for a bit, I know we were only
playing, then I said 'So I could claim my rights, right?' so to speak. He said
absolutely I could but I shouldn't bite off more than I could chew, then he
patted my bum affectionately and went upstairs.
Cunning is my husband, now I keep thinking about
claiming my rights and what 'biting off more than I can chew' would
entail.
Have a good week.
