At first I thought, "What?!"...but, after reading this article I am quite intrigued by it. I couldn't imagine striking my wife (or any female, for that matter) but the Muslim man in that article seemed slightly psychotic, I think it was the serious tone he had. Anyways, very thought provoking article.

"After all is said and done, a lot more will be said than done."
If I have learned anything in my years on this earth, it is that one should never, ever strike a woman, no matter how richly she may deserve it. A man will forget about it and go to sleep, but the woman will never forget, and won't need to sleep. It is at that point that her large iron skillet makes contact with his kneecaps.
Just my tuppence.

andylucy, "no matter how much a woman might deserve it." You better watch out, I have more than 1 cast iron skillet. I also have a nice big fat rolling pin.
mmh.. I think a good old fashioned cast iron pan is ideal for the job.. the large ones of course. A good slam with that should heal every man of that notion!
Man can't walk, man can't run, man can't get away! That's just the beginning.
Actually, I was just discussing it with my sergeant, one of the old superseded laws in Kentucky, but still on the books, is that a man may beat his wife with a stick, provided the stick is no longer than 3 feet long and no bigger in diameter than his thumb.
Just some food for thought.
Just my tuppence. Ducking now as the ladies respond, also keeping a wary eye on maggiemahone1's large rolling pin. Those things hurt.
When I was in the Army (many moons ago) a young lady used an Iron skillet in a most interesting fashion.
Her young husband had come home from a field exercise and having had a rough time while there decided to take his frustration out on his wife. The next morning she awoke him to breakfast in bed, ..... Eggs, Sausage, Bacon, and the Iron Skillet neatly turn over onto his lower belly.
I do not believe that he ever touched her in anger again.
It's a wonder she didn't hit him upside the head with it. That would have been my first instinct.
From the Book of Woman. A woman can use her cast iron skillet on a man's head at least once a month more if necessary. Only a hit to make him see just a few stars. If this doesn't seem to help woman can hit man a little harder. Then if man doesn't learn his lesson she may hit him had enough to lay him flat on his back. Then she may sit on him with cast iron skillet handy until he promises her whatever she wants. Book of Woman Section A Written by Women of the Universe
