Protestant Fundamentalists out in deep space advocate husbands spanking their wives to correct their disobedience<\/a>.<\/p>\n

And yes, it\u2019s not just Protestant Fundamentalists who are into this. Some not-at-all-creepy Reactionary Catholics think this is cool beans too.<\/a>\u00a0 (You really need to scroll through a couple pages of the discussion to get a full sense of the contours of this sick weirdness that whipsaws between fantasizing about beating women (for their own good) and then fantasizes about killing \u201ctruly abusive\u201d men who \u201creally\u201d beat women. \u00a0Reactionary Catholicism at its most repellent and alienating.)<\/p>\n
