cross-dressing as punishment?

[Charli]

Yeeeeeah let's subliminally implant the notion that those who wear the opposite gender clothing are weak and weird...yeeeeah!


...No. And get off my lawn, and never speak to me again.

If they were against he idea, yes. For the lulz.

But really, I'd tell them to dress how the hell they want, and that it's not up to me. As long as they're good.

Humilliation isn't a very good way of treating your kid.

Isn't it illegal to punish children by humiliating them? is it any different than violently beating the child into submission? ofcourse it isn't. I for one would report such parents to the police, and if that failed then I would probably just get my baseball bat and show them what karma is.

Unless of course the child is over the age of 16 and already fit to leave their home.

Sadly, emotional abuse tends to be either not illegal, or exceedingly hard to verify and convict. I would assert that violently beating a child includes emotional abuse on top of the physical abuse, so equating them doesn't quite work. It's like asking, "Is kicking you any different than kicking and hitting you?

I would never use cross dressing as a punishment as I don't see it as a negative and I wouldn't want my kids to think of it that way either. Punishment should be an additional chore and/or removal of a benefit that relates to the offense. (i.e. you spilled food all over the living room floor. Now you have to vacuum and use carpet cleaner on the carpet in there you're not allowed to eat food in the living room for a month.)
