Sean Connery likes to slap women

Funny stuff... never expected this from him.

[darkface]

Good for him. He still sticks by his word. :P

I wouldn't normally hit a woman. But if anyone warrants a good ol' slapping... I'd do it too! ;)

[JJFlamingo]

Love Connery to death, but this still makes him a pussy...:(

Fine, if he thinks its okay to slap a woman with an open hand... I'm sure he would't mind a swift kick in the balls with my flip flops?

Talk about a blast from the past interview though! I was born in 87'. Barbra looks so young!

[EvilHenchman]

Ah, I can hear it now: "Does Sean Connery gotta slap a bitch?"

Sorry.

Not saying I condone his sentiment at all, but if anyone could do it and still come off all debonair, Connery's the guy.

(actually, I think his Bond might've slapped a few girls back in the day...)

[pablo_super1!]

Ha Lindsey you would dare kick Bond in the Nuts. :D

But though I don't agree with him, I seen this very funny spoof that I thnk everyone should see.

Me too. Still, I doubt that the old fart has changed his opinion much, even after another 20 years.


(actually, I think his Bond might've slapped a few girls back in the day...)
He did indeed, and Roger did it at least once as well.

I've always found that clip hysterical, not for the notion he presents, but because of the fact that Barbara is just so dumbstruck when he reaffirms his opinion in such a matter-of-fact way.

In case anyone's wondering, the interview she's referring to is the one from Playboy in 1965; here's the relevant bit:

PLAYBOY: How do you feel about roughing up a woman, as Bond sometimes has to do?

CONNERY: I don't think there is anything particularly wrong about hitting a woman - although I don't recommend doing it in the same way that you'd hit a man. An open handed slap is justified - if all other alternatives fail and there has been plenty of warning. If a woman is a bitch, or hysterical, or bloody-minded continually, then I'd do it. I think a man has to be slightly advanced, ahead of the woman. I really do - by virtue of the way a man is built, if nothing else. But I wouldn't call myself sadistic. I think one of the appeals that Bond has for women, however, is that he is decisive, cruel even. By their nature women aren't decisive - "Shall I wear this? Shall I wear that?" - and along comes a man who is absolutely sure of everything and he's a godsend. And, of course, Bond is never in love with a girl and that helps. He always does what he wants, and women like that. It explains why so many women are crazy about men who don't give a rap for them.

The rest of the Playboy interview (http://www.obsessional.co.uk/playboy.htm) (The interview is actually rather good, if you have the time to read through it all.)

Haha that is indeed awesome.

[ListersParanoia]

There is such a double standard in this world for this kinda stuff. If a man was acting like an ass (cheating etc) and a woman belted him across the chops everyone in the cafe would stand up applaud and cheer "you go girl" but if a man was to do that same thing he would be cast out of society. I don't get it. I don't think that hitting is EVER ok (man or woman) but to be honest I've wanted to smack one of my EXs simply because nothing else was sinking in...there's truth in what he said about "the last word not being enough" and they have to rub it in again and again with ungodly tenaciousness. This trait obviously doesn't apply to ALL woman, just a certain minority.

You gotta love how he doesn't back down from his quote though, way to stick to your guns Sean.

It stands to reason: Women, children, and animals were NOT put on this earth to be hit by men, and any man that would do so is not a real man by definition, but a lower form of life that deserves torture the likes of those in Gitmo Bay only have nightmares about.

So, if you find yourself faced with a woman giving you a "hard time", just remember who you are and walk away if you can't handle it, plain and simple, go for a drive, run to Mommy, whatever...:D

I've never had a problem getting away from the situation if it got too heated, I just have a distaste for the dual attitudes present in our society.

[MidnightAngel]

Former agent 007 slapping Bond women. :D

[a7xfan]

this sure is a touchy subject but im gonna have a shot at an argument.

society today has became sexist and ludicrous. its frowned upon if a man hits a woman, heck there's even jail time, i for one don't agree with hitting anyone but a member of the same sex (male).

now if a woman hits a man, nothing happens, by nothing i am exaggerating. but seriously, they usually just get a hi-five from other women, and the guy gets his ass kicked out the door cause 'he must of been a jerk' hardly any cases of women beating men have resulted in jail time to the extent of wife-beating has.

see now, i call that a sexist society, harder rules on men than women, is this becuase men are bigger? surely in both case doesn't matter the size or sex, its morally wrong.
but men seem to get the short end of the stick most of the time.

momen faught for equel rights, right? well they also faught for the shit ones too, so whats good for a man, is good for a woman. same jail terms, and same public reactions

I agree. He's not saying he runs aruond and slaps women in the face. He said that if he was in an argument, and she kept going and going and going, far after it was over, he would give her a slap in the face.

I would personally never hit a woman, but I don't see how what he's saying is so wrong.

If a guy was fighting with his girlfriend, and called her a "fucking slut" and she slapped him in the face and walked into her room it would be ok. Nobody would notice.

If a girl was fighting with her boyfriend, and called him a fucking asshole, and wouldnt leave him alone, and he slapped her in the face and walked into his room, he would be charged.

Hitting anybody is wrong, but I don't see what hes saying is so bad. I don't support it tho, or would ever hit a woman myself.

[Shinigami]

You guys are being a little overthetop. If a guy slaps his girlfriend, he will not be charged. Nothing happens if you give someone a light slap. Even if you repeated slap a woman, police don't jump out of the bushes and shuttle you to jail. It's rude and it's hurtful, but it would take one hell of a case to form any kind of "charge". On the other hand, if a woman takes a fire extinguisher to a guy and bashes up his face into black and blue pulp, she is in deep shit. Likewise, if a man punches out a woman's teeth, he is in deep shit. Physical abuse is physical abuse...not these infrequent, petty examples you guys are pedaling. You're all making it sound like any sensitive joe sunday that accidentally slaps his girlfriend during a fight gets the cuffs'. That's just not true.

America is a long ways off from favoring women. With anything. Unfortunately.

actually, the law is not that easy on people, on hit, thats all it takes for an arrest, i dnt know where you, but the cops there must be shit :D


i've heard it many times before, guy slaps girl, girls phones cops, says she has been hit, they go there and take the guy. other way around the guy gets heckled by the cops on their way to a 'pointless case'

[Shinigami]

Are you kidding me? You don't get put in jail because you slapped anybody. Man or woman (unless this 'light slap' is a full-bown POW that sends teeth flying). Maybe you can get the cops called on you and some kind of flimsy slap on the wrists, but the same applies if you bicycle at nighttime without a front and back light.
I've heard way too many ridiculous examples of some nice everyday guy that accidentally slapped his girlfriend...then gets arrested, tried, sent to jail for life - I mean it's absurd. The laws are certainly not stacked against men. For anything. We aren't some persecuted sex.

Jeez. First there's a thread with a bunch of white dudes telling muslims to relax about their public image. Now men are complaining about unfair treatment. I think I'm getting into a tissy over nothing, so I want to apologize ahead of time if I'm being too dramatic here. And there's a chance I am. I think I've just heard too much of this crap lately, so I might be unfairly aggressive.

That's true. People can take what they like from their divorce messes. I can't really debate that. If a guy thinks he got screwed because he's male, who knows. Likewise, if a guy thinks he is being stiffed out of work because of all the mexicans in America, who is to tell him or her that he/she is wrong? One of the biggest tells of a spoiled brat is how much they moan when they finally don't get their way. And it's hard to argue that white males aren't the spoiled brats in my analogy. They - we - have been spoiled so thoroughly throughout history...so there's bound to be some balancing favoritism showing up as the laws and cultures try to readjust their favor evenly among sexes (or races; in some cases I am sure a company will hair a black over a white, but these are necessary sacrifices for our culture...birthing pains towards a new and equal opportunity land, if you like).
I just don't happen to think that any of these slight cases of favoritism towards a woman, or a black, or an asian, or a mexican, or whatever example you want to use - is anything to make a fuss over. It was bound to happen. I'm sure some males have been treated unfairly in the interests of trying to "rebalance" this favoritism more evenly, and that's a huge bitch. I'm lucky enough in that I haven't been a victim of that PC overcompensation yet. And as such a lucky fellow, I say it's a necessarily evil for our culture to progress and evolve.
I'll also stop trying to be so dramatic when I post. :)

nothing to make a fuss over, okay

the thousands upon thousands of americans that want a job, need one. but cannot find one or have been turned away, because a mexican guy will do the job for less money.

the thousands upon thoudands of britons that cannot get a job, because of the polish community that have sudenly flocked to the uk.

nothing to make a fuss over? its our fucking country. mexicans have theirs....called mexico,if they cannot find work, tough shit! same with poilish people.

the town i live in is littered with polish people, who take all the jobs because of greedy fucking companies that dnt think about their own people.
i mean ffs the polish community in the uk get money for the children that they have still living in poland! now wtf is that shit. my country paying for some kid in another country. fuck that.

i am not saying that its 100% the foreigners fault, our governments are to blame. but trust me this isn't a 'slight' case of favourism.

[Shinigami]

I was definitely undercutting the impact immigration has had on America or any other country, yeah. So for once I was actually being too UN-dramatic. And considering that I've overblown two innocent threads into talks about big dramatic issues, that's a personal landmark for me.
Seriously though, it might not be slight, and it might not be inconsequential, but isn't it necessary? When dealing with examples as huge and populated as countries...or even states, any shift in the societal norm is going to be this seesawing move of random favoritism. It can't be subtle and precise. I always assumed that all of this overcompensation is necessary for change. I mean, look at the political climate in America. A lot of people are rallying for "change" after the bush administration, for instance, but they are rallying so strongly that they don't even care if the change in question is for the better or the worse - they just want something obvious and clumsy for satisfaction. If America demands equal treatment for sexes, the country will start leaning towards women, even to the point of favoritism. This is so people will actually notice that change is happening. A whole country can't feel subtlety. At least that's my opinion so far. And going back down to the topic I initially replied off, I still don't see female favoritism in such an obvious and clumsy fashion. There are some examples of it, sure. But I sort of take them as necessary evils, again. It's the circle of changing life, and all that disney jazz.

Connery's Bond was all the time slapping women, and he's a cinematic hero.

That's because Cali is a "No Fault" state. THAT's why.

A better example is in custody cases. NO matter what state you live in, 9 times out of 10 the woman is getting the kids. And sometimes even if she's living under questionable circumstances :(


Btw, you should never, EVER hit a woman......... "until after the 5th time she's punched you in the face." ;)


And aren't there bigger things to gripe about in that article other than him saying its sometimes necessary to hit a chick?

Well being that the UK and US are two of the most notorious countries when it came to colonizing other peoples, I think the recent immigration situation is justified. So fucking deal with it. But I think you're underestimating Mexican people. My dad came here when he was 6 years old, illegally I might add. He has now been a legal resident of this country a little over 53 years. He has not only stolen 1 job but many from Americans. He's 58 years old, had a heart attack last year and currently has 3 jobs. He'd probably take a 4th if he could fit it in. Yay dad!

The Poles aren't the problem. They're Europeans, and by EU law they're entitled to come an work in our neck of the woods. By the same token we're also allowed to work anywhere in the EU.

If Europe is to force out the threat of Russia and the increasing power of both the U.S and China, we must have this Union and permit everything that's part of that. If we can also manage to get Turkey into the EU this would be a big victory against the U.S.

The problem are the Pakistani's, Arabs, Middle Eastern lot and other non-European immigrants. They try and enforce their beliefs on our nation, and often promote hatred against us. Those people need to be shipped back to their own country. That isn't racist, before some people start whining again, it's nationalist. I'm all for everyone in Europe living where they please in the EU. But these non-Europeans have their own countries. You don't see European communities in Arabia, or the Middle East. You go to China or Japan and they don't have a multi cultural society. So why should we have to put up with it.

The Poles aren't the problem, not by a long shot.
