Never mind checking your privileges, I suggest you guys check your current sub-forum and quit baiting each other. If there's something about which you'd like to have a serious discussion, now that you're done calling each other out and have fired off your first shots, consider taking that discussion to the DISCUSS! forum for a better discussion. If you want to bait each other, take it to the BAIT!! forum.
To "slap some sense" into someone may have an undertone of misogyny, esp. when the slappee is a woman. The poster who used the phrase clearly didn't intend it as such, and the expression is not misogynistic in itself, but it's possible to put it into a broader context and decide that it's kinda misogynistic. One might argue that slapping sense into people has no gender requirements, which is why Batman is so happy to slap Robin. Others may in turn point out the relation to pimp-slapping, and who can argue the misogyny inherent in that practice?
But then some may note that, putting aside misogyny and misandry and what have you, slapping some sense into someone is just another expression of the casual violence that permeates our everyday language, for better and for worse. If there is any reason to take issue with such language, I believe that is the best one: we should occasionally take a moment to consider just how violent and aggressive human nature is, even under seemingly normal peaceful circumstances, because that may help us become more peaceful and gentle creatures. It's true that violence against women is ever-present in every culture, but slapping sense into people isn't a specific expression of misogynistic violence--it's an expression of general human violence. The violence isn't purely--or even primarily--physical either. It's an emotional and social violence. It's about delivering a shock and causing humiliation. Often, that's precisely what humans want to give their fellow humans. Of course, in this case I think an uncareful poster simply felt strongly about the matter and wanted to express those feelings in a forceful manner.
I am currently equally angry at both of them, perhaps a little more at Angus than at Faye. I hope they don't fuck it up. I hope Dora gently blows some sense into their ears.
