"Therese, would you like to know why he runs a school? . . . libertinage, my child, libertinage alone, a passion he carries to its extremes. My father finds in his pupils of either sex objects whose dependence submits them to his inclinations, and he exploits them . . . But wait a moment . . . come with me," said Rosalie, "today is Friday, one of the three days during the week when he corrects those who have misbehaved; it is this kind of punishment my father takes his pleasure . . ."
--the Marquis de Sade, Justine | | Principal Sade and Principal Ape are our archetypal paddling principals. Anytime you get two or three paddling men in a school together, they seem to fall into this pattern. (It is often worse, oddly enough, when a woman gung-ho about corporal punishment serves as an attending witness for one of these principals, because she will often do sexually intrusive things on his behalf that men are not as likely to do themselves, like pulling a girl's skirt up to allow paddling on the underpants, or even yanking the underpants up tight into the girl's vaginal and anal clefts, thereby exposing her bare buttocks for the man to spank.) | | First is Principal Sade. Principal Sade obviously loves his paddle, and he takes after the Marquis de Sade. He is an aggressively dominant male and goes way out of his way to make paddling as humiliating and brutal as society will allow. His paddle is made out of a heavier wood than average or is larger so that it hurts more. Even when he shares another man's paddle he swings harder, and thus his reputation of having a "big hard paddle--the hardest in the school" is enhanced in any case. Swinging the paddle with mighty force, he may actually grunt like a tennis pro on a serve. He's the one the students are most afraid of. When he finds a pretty teen girl who can "really take a paddling" and whose parents fully approve of it, he lets it all out. He's the one who starts to raise questions and suspicions, even in women who are socialized to believe that taking a spanking from a man has no sexual overtones. | | To Principal Sade, a woman's humiliation is a big joke, and he shows little capacity for compassion. Walking behind a pretty cheerleader about to be paddled, he'll "watch her ass wiggle" and remark what good shape she's in, or tell a girl as she bends over and grabs her ankles for the paddle that her pants "have a little dust on them, and he'll have to dust them off." His jokes serve to trivialize the assault and her humiliation. | | Sade feels entitled, if not obliged, to paddle 17- and 18-year-old women extra hard simply because they are getting spanked at that remarkably high age. (The fact that they are sexually mature females is sure to "get his blood up" even more, adding extra zeal to each swing of the paddle.) They are there in his office presumably because they need this special form of discipline--just as a man intent on raping an adolescent girl might suggest that she needs "a good f***in'" to overcome the "uptightness" that makes her so "bitchy." They're not there because of a dress code violation; that's secondary to the bigger picture. They're there because they simply need to be paddled. "If you still have to be paddled at your age, young lady, I’m going to make sure you feel it, and make no mistake--it's gonna hurt." | | If Principal Sade worked in a non-paddling school, he would still be the guy who would dominate, and humiliate, and bully students to the greatest extent his school allowed him to. He'd grab girls and guys alike by the shoulder and yell at them in the hall and would give long suspensions for trivial violations, mainly for the power trip of watching the students squirm, though also to show the world why they need to let him have his paddle toy back. Still, he would make do. Whether he has the "bend over and grab your ankles" treatment at his disposal or has to rely instead on long suspensions that ruin college chances, he can make sure that young "uppity" women get "knocked back in their place," as they don't belong in college "taking a man's job" anyway--they frankly belong bending over a man's desk. | | Indeed, if he is about to paddle a young woman who has just moved to his school from a non-paddling state, he will persist in asking if she thinks she is "too good for the paddle," or will say it's about time she got an "attitude adjustment" from the paddle. If she comes from a well-to-do home or one that presumably doesn't spank, he will likewise go on about whether she thinks she is "too good to be paddled" or talk about how she is "long overdue" for a paddling. No matter if she never actually broke a school rule--the important thing is that she's had this "need for a paddling" all this time up until now, and finally here's his chance. |
