Petition Action

Ban the Slap

Additional Information

Why is it socially acceptable for a woman to slap a man, yet if the roles are switched around we consider this abuse. Both acts are abusive and men, just as much as women feel the pain, both emotionally and physically of being slapped. What happens on television, films and in other media is blatantly gender inequality!

I would like to see the government put a ban on slapping on television, pre-watershed. Children grow up thinking this is natural and an acceptable punishment.
