Which brings up an interesting point. Historically in many cultures men
were allowed to beat their wives as well as their children. By Lee's
argument this might suggest that we should not intervene when we see a
man beating his wife, just as he argues that we should not when we see
him beating his child. I would like to hear from Lee if he would take
the argument that far.
