I mean, yes armor is heavy but I have sparred with my cousins for hours and hours straight.

Women have a lower pain threshold than men and usually have less muscle mass as well. That being said I don't think anyone deserves to be hit unless they've been very naughty.

Actually, I've heard women have a much higher pain threshold than men.




It's just something I've heard, though I feel it is rather supported by pushing a good twelve pounds of screaming, howling angry mass out of their Vagoo....

These studies suggest that women have a lower pain threshold than men. Also from my own experiment of play-fighting with an attractive girl that I was very fond of, I had to be careful around her due to

how sensitive she is to pain.

Although when women become pregnant there bodies build up a number of hormones and chemicals to deal with the pain of childbirth so it's possible for them to have a higher pain threshold then men (but

only around childbirth).

The girl absolutely should have held her own. She has the 16 year old energy and recovery time, and i doubt very highly the guy could fight her for 2 hours straight. What are we talking here? like 10mins on, 5 off? More than enough time for the girl to get a good whack in on her old man.
If she would have just takin her sword pratice seriously perhaps we wouldnt be reading about the 16yo that couldnt hold her own, and we would be reading about the 16yo who accidently removed her dad's life with a wooden sword.

Think about the family you wrecked little girl. Does that mean nothing?

When his daughter collapsed after two hours of sword fighting, Seay and his wife, the girl's stepmother, forced her to strip to her underwear before she fell asleep on the couch, Elwin said.
The 16-year-old was made to sleep between the couple in their bed, Elwin said. He said no sexual contact is alleged.

What the feth is wrong with these parents, oh well I'm sure a certain someone is going to try and defend this messed up behavior.

Now I'm waiting for someone to come in and say that in Kazakhstan it's common place for disobedient children to be subjected to be forced to watch religious programming in their underwear in the rain, so they don't know what all the fuss is about.

That was pure genius Malfred and Sebster, nice one.

I didn't really disobey my parents when I was 16, so maybe I missed out on an important part of life.


The part where you get your ass kicked for about 2-3 hours(depending on if you include the punching and branch and how long that lasted), then force to watch TV sermons in your underwear.


TBH, I missed out on most of High School's social aspect thanks to WoW. Reading this article makes me actually legitimately thank WoW for all I missed in High School for the first time. No Parties(except for Dungeons)= No beatdowns from crazed parent.


Now I could probably understand "What, you disobeyed me? K. 2 minute sparring match, Wooden Swords, we both get armor. Come at me Bro" But only assuming they were both trained, the father made sure that the kid was not injured and the only reason the sparring match was used is to show the child who is in charge.

Beating said child senseless teaches only one thing, Parent is unfit.

Of course the parent is in charge. They're the parent.

If the child had mastered fighting with a wooden sword and beat the parent, the parent would still be in charge... because they're the parent.

Parental authority doesn't come from being stronger.

I Understand that, you understand that, Most people on this Forum prolly understand that.

In general(at least where I live), Teenagers do not understand that and believe High School is the magical land where the parents are nothing more than Bank Accounts and you can do whatever you want. Something as definitive as "I'm bigger and stronger, so I"m in charge" would, at least with teenagers where I live, prolly work better than "I'm in charge because I'm the parent."

Cutting them off from money would be a much better way to draw the Authority Line, but if you have to go the "Bigger= In charge" route, my suggestion is better than what the step dad did.

uh hun....

True, kids will try and challenge authority when they reach highschool. But ultimately, I'm not sure authority comes from any kind of blunt force, whether it's cutting off the money or defeating them in solo combat. First and foremost the kids basically have to respect you and understand you have their best interests at heart. If you don't have that anything else you try is going to work for very little time, or have unintended consequences.

What on earth could have compelled them to make her dress in armor, than beat her with a wooden sword....

It's worse than that.

They beat her and and then put her in the armor and beat her some more. And then forced her to strip mostly naked and watch some religious nutjob on TV spouting fire and brimstone.

Exactly. If men had to give birth the species would be instantly extinct.

Either that or we'd see a LOT more development in artificial wombs.

In Soviet Russia religious programming watches you in it's underwear!

YELM, Wash. — A Thurston County couple is accused of beating their daughter and forcing her to fight them in a medieval-style duel.
Investigators arrested the 16-year-old girl's stepfather, Fremon Seay, and her mother, Julie Seay, this weekend.
According to police, the teen was forced her to dress in armor and fight Fremon Seay with a wooden sword for two hours

There can be only one.
