I once called a woman's child as one would call a dog as a joke. The woman got really offended. And I was not liked by my friend's wife after that. It was a joke.

You did yourself a favor by outing that humorless person.

That's because it's their first. By the third they'll be all out of fucks to give.

men often have to walk around eggshells with women because women are so pathetic. it didn't used to be like that. if a man said a harmless joke and an uppity shrew who thinks she's queen satrap tried to bark back she'd cop a deserved smack across the chops. nowadays they bark like rabid dogs

You just reminded me of watching Sean Connerys interview with Barbara Walters, talking about slapping a woman.

no diff to spanking a disobedient child. basically every mammal does it, gives a snap or a light hit to keep them in order when they are acting up

Ha! Yup it's all about establishing dominance while they're young.

In reality it's about meeting the needs of the infant, and not using it to meet your needs. If you do the latter you'll warp it and it will be unable to handle its own needs later in life.

True. Munchausen syndrome comes to mind here. I was joking about establishing dominance. I'm no Joe Biden.

The idea that you were asked to babysit in the first place is somewhat disturbing.
