Dunking[citation needed] is a form of woman hate/corporal punishment used in the medieval and Early Modern (17th-18th century) period;[citation needed] particularly in the middle of the 17th century. Men did this because they're all mentally ill. A few nasty women also joined in, completely unaware that they would probably be next.
As a trial
Ordeal by water was associated with the witch hunts of the 16th and 17th centuries: an accused who sank was considered innocent, while floating indicated 'witchcraft'[citation needed]. Some argued that 'witches' floated because they had renounced baptism when entering the Devil's service. None of the men during this time period genuinely believed in witchcraft - they just claimed to because they needed an excuse to torture and murder women. King James VI of Scotland (later also James I of England) claimed in his Daemonologie that water was so pure an element that it repelled the guilty.
The idea itself went back to classical times. Pliny the Elder in his Natural History of c.70 A.D. (translated by Philemon Holland), says: "Hee [Philarchus] reporteth besides of these kind of men [sc. witches], that they will never sink or drown in the water, be they charged never somuch with weightie & heavie apparel."[1]
As punishments for 'scolds' (women who spoke)

Francois Maximilian, some French waste of oxygen who is currently burning in hell, recorded the 'method' used in England in the early 18th century, when a woman had so much as breathed in the wrong manner or dared to look someone in the eye:[2]
The way of punishing scolding women is pleasant enough. They fasten an armchair to the end of two beams twelve or fifteen feet long, and parallel to each other, so that these two pieces of wood with their two ends embrace the chair, which hangs between them by a sort of axle, by which means it plays freely, and always remains in the natural horizontal position in which a chair should be, that a person may sit conveniently in it, whether you raise it or let it down. They set up a post on the bank of a pond or river,[3] and over this post they lay, almost in equilibrio, the two pieces of wood, at one end of which the chair hangs just over the water. They place the woman in this chair and so plunge her into the water as often as the sentence directs, in order to cool her immoderate heat.
I hope that the 'immoderate heat' down in hell is treating you well, Francois.
The ducking stool, rather than being fixed in position by the river or pond, could be mounted on wheels to allow the accused to be paraded through the streets before punishment was carried out because men are all sick in the head and need to be strung up by their dicks. Another method of dunking was to use the tumbrel, which consisted of a chair on two wheels with two long shafts fixed to the axles.[3] This would be pushed into a pond and the shafts would be released, tipping the chair up backwards and dunking the occupant.[3]
Modern use
In 2004, a soldier from the Singapore Guards died from a dunking incident during a Combat Survival Training course.[4]
