My grandpa was left handed, but in his time (the 20’s) the nuns slapped him on his hand with a yardstick every time he tried doing something left handed. So the episode was believable for my family.
I can’t imagine being a kid, followed around by nuns daily as they attempt to beat the left handedness out of me.
what i can't imagine is being the adults who think it's worth giving a single fuck about, how fucked up do you have to be to treat kids that way?
It always makes me think of my grandpa, who was by all means raised in the kind of culture where that kind of thing might happen, but by the magic of being a basically good person he hit my dad ONCE and felt absolutely terrible about it and never did it again.
like i get that people were raised to think differently in the past, but i don't buy that you can be raised into accepting child abuse.
Did you know the Mormons don't like red hair? They also didn't want me to dye it... So basically they would prefer I just didn't exist.
... No? People love shitting on the Mormons, but that doesn't mean spreading misinformation is okay. They have nothing against red hair. Been a member of the church my entire life and I think this is one of the stupidest thing I've heard.
going directly to hell before you die, because god ran out of cyan toner.
The answer is religion. It poisoned their mind into thinking they have to,abuse their child to keep them safe from the devil's influence.
It isn't just nuns. My grandparents did the same thing to my mom and it never stopped her from using her left hand but it did teach her how to be ambidextrous.
They were doing that to my father in the 60s.
