CHARLIZE THERON LIKES BEATINGS

Who doesn’t enjoy a good ass-whooping? Charlize Theron thinks they’re ‘a-ok’, even though there’s apparently some law against beating your kids in the US. It’s just another example of “the man” bringing Charlize down. Theron was raised in South Africa and her childhood consisted of much physical discipline from her mother.

Theron says: “It couldn’t happen in America today, because she’d be put in jail, and to me that’s a very sad thing, because I always deserved it.

“Never once did I go: ‘God, this is so unfair.’ Afterward, I would go up to her and apologise, because I knew that I had been wrong.”

I’m not an advocate by any stretch of violence against children, but how are parents supposed to keep their kids in line without the occasional shovel to the face?
