The very interesting thing about watching Elizabeth react to having done something wrong is having to watch Elly's being completely baffled by the fact that for some reason that eludes her, the reason Liz quotes for not fessing up as quickly as possible is her fear of being spanked. We know that neither she nor John would lay a hand on her because unlike a boy, their daughter has feelings that can be hurt so Mike gets his ass tanned for blinking funny while Liz could kill someone and just get a time out.

Eventually Elizabeth figures this out and her retaliations against Michael grow increasingly violent, because she knows she will not be punished and Michael, as a boy, is incapable of being physical hurt by a girl in this comic strip.

And he's also incapable of learning from his mistakes. One gut punch should teach most people to shut their mouths if their only export is hateful verbal abuse but the cement-headed dolt is not most people.

Except that the gut punches are from a girl so in this universe they cause no actual pain or harm.

Thus does Lynn's idiotic belief that a weak little girl can NEVER hurt a big strong man make women's lives worse: men don't learn shit THAT way!
