Guardian comments on the movie ''12 years slave''.

According to Glymph, "physical punishment seems to have occurred much more frequently between mistresses and slaves than between masters and slaves" and stories about American slavery written by African-Americans tend to tell a similar story. Tellingly, 12 Years a Slave is based on the autobiography of the film's African-American protagonist, Solomon Northup, and other contemporary books, such as Frederick Douglass's autobiography, Narrative of the Life of Frederick Douglass, an American Slave, also reflect this. Yes, white women and black men and women in America's slave era were all victims of white patriarchal authority, but only white women had the freedom to vent their fury, albeit on the only people to whom they were superior.

The "glamour of old times" by Lupus Pictures and the "White Ribbon" are two excellent films (the first is a spanking one) that captivate the imagination and bring you back in time, in Europe of 20-21st century, when corporal punishment rituals where very common in the aristocratic households.

Not only there of course, but mainly this is where corporal punismhment was a 'fashion' based on a whole ritualistic scenery. It was the Lady of the house mainly that administered the punishment to the household servants, maids as the man was usually away on war.

E.g. Czar Russia,  germanic Prussia, Victorian British empire etc.
