This is the ending of the movie MClintock, Its a wild west movie where all women rebelled against men. So in the end of the movie, the men wins and they punished their wives and daughters by spanking them. This is a family comedy movie in the 1960's. It is supposed to be a comedy with life lessons for the family. Is this the old values many older people are saying that has been missing from the society? So in the 1960's it is acceptable to beat up your wife? so she will be submissive again? I will show this video to someone who kept on whining about how old values die. Based from what I see many old values should die.

@CaptAlbertWhisker I've seen this happen in quite a handful of movies. Whether the spanking takes place or it's threatened to a woman. And honestly, I always feel weird about it. Because, not that I really agree with it happening with children either but men doing it to a full grown woman is treating her like a child. It's weird to me.

I just notice a lot of acceptable violence to women in many 1960's movies. Some of the words we found offensive these days are acceptable back then. I also saw a commercial saying "our product is so easy to use that even a woman can use it"

@VivaLaDani13 Sorry for reviving this but I found something creepy.. This is from the 1970's... I have a friend who is married to a woman named Jessie and this song is his theme song for her...The song is ruined for me now because its about a 12 year old girl who pretended she is an adult so she can seduce an adult.

Try to make your daughter watch and see if she will like it. Things change in a matter of decades. I mean the jokes from the show Friends an early 2000's show is considered offensive now.

Yeah it will be seen as offensive these days unless its in Turkey where beating wives is legal. Then older people tell us their generation is better

In our days this movie will be censored for sure, women abuse! I think that some men deserve a good spanking.

I also noticed in many 1960's stuff, Men slapping women is seen as acceptable. heck there is even a romance movie where the male protagonist tried raping the woman but she fell in love with him after he asked for forgiveness.

@CaptAlbertWhisker Now it is ridiculous because everything has become "offensive", but in the past they exaggerated on the other side.
