ORIGINAL: Lordandmaster UMs are going to see much more ugliness in the world than two lovers expressing their love in an unconventional fashion. That statement just floors me. It is true that UMs may see some frightening and violent things in real life. But those hopefully will be rare, and accidental. To justify a deliberate display of slapping, when people seeing it have no idea that the woman wishes this, rather than that she is just being assaulted, by saying "well, you'll see a lot worse than this, so get used to it", is callous. Also, the last thing kids would think in seeing one person slapping another, is that "love" is being expressed. Even the majority of adults would have trouble believing this. Without knowing and understanding the dynamics of the ones involved, all the kids would remember is a frightening and confusing assault. How would you suggest parents explain it? "Why did that man hit that woman, Mommy?" "Well, honey, he must be a bad man who has no control of his temper". Not pretty, hmm? Or, how about "Well, maybe she likes it, and was asking for it, honey." Huh??? Nice way to propogate the myth that victims of abuse deserve it and ask for it. The most likely exchange, if it happened in front of me and my kids would be "Why did that man hit that woman right before Daddy punched him, Mommy?" "Well, honey, I don't know. I think he must have been crazy or something. Probably the police will find out when he wakes up."
