You know the meme where Batman is slapping Robin, supposedly to put some sense into his head?
I never really paid attention to that, realized what it meant till the other day when it was used on me, if indirectly.
The thing is, if someone is physically aggressive to me, even if just a slap, they are risking a full weapons release or at the very least, a broken arm, dislocated shoulder (half nelson response) or a broken nose (block-strike).
When did we start putting the thought into people's minds that they could be physically aggressive against another's space without it promoting a response ESPECIALLY when the another does not know what is in the first striker's mind?
The slap was normalized by Jethro Gibbs of NCIS, also known as the Gibbs slap. Not saying it's OK to do, just pointing out when and how it happened.
Hmmmm, I was wondering about that......when I saw the female lead on L&O:SVU do a head slap on a prisoner, if people would take it that in reality, it was okay to assault a prisoner. I don't watch the show on my own, AT ALL, so to me, she is just the female lead.

But I am a bit concerned with your mental health if you feel the need to bring out weapons for a supposed slight.
Well, A, B, and C.
A: I wonder about others actually slapping another......when I see posts about it being okay to punch a Nazi any time. The latter is not on my greeting card list but like anyone else in America, they do have the right to assemble and speak.
B: The weapons here are hand to hand, unarmed.
C: As I said in post 1, the striker knows it is a slight ......... but the victim is not a mind reader.

This is another indirect attack on masculinity...............
The question is when and why did reaction and response change?

Are you too young to remember, "Sometimes you have to smack an ass upside the head with a 2 x 4 to get his attention?"

"The slap was normalized by Jethro Gibbs of NCIS," Not even CLOSE!
Did you ever watch The 3 Stooges or Laurel and Hardy, Abbot and Costello?
