Well Roger, I have always read that!way back in England - when the husband was considered responsible for the behavior of his wife.....he was expected to beat her if she misbehaved, but the stick could be no wider than his thumb...hence the rule of thumb. I STILL think that this is the oldest, and the truest basis of the rule of thumb idea!!
Love the uniform! Now, I don't want you to think that I have any foreknowledge, but - have a look at this:

Not! How rude to classify me as an angry feminist!
Shame on you. I am a woman, I did have a husband who beat me
up and I left him, never to see again, some 25 years ago. But, I was looking for the "footnotes" - you know - those little things that prove
your work is documented, that prove a writing's veracity. The ones that prove that those little pages (the links you gave me ) were not just someone's concoction to suit the way THEY felt about things!! Did not
see ANY. Furthermore, in the not so far past - I do seem to recall a
man named OJ who got away with killing HIS wife, in court, in the USA AND in front of all of us watching the TV etc etc. Found guilty later in
civil suit????? Come on boys, let's just face it. Women get maimed, murdered, burned to death (India lost 20,000 women in the past 10
years alone!) all the time. There never was a feminist movement - the backlash to it began as soon as it started to hatch out of the egg.
