Like every time someone posts a study about how it’s bad, you get a huge flood of people saying stuff like “I was spanked as a kid, yet I’m fine”.
You are viewing a single thread.
View all comments I think it’s one of two things:
- They’re chuds who think beating people into submission is the right and correct thing to do.
And/or
- They experienced corporeal punishment as kids and think if they acknowledge that was wrong/damaging of their parents/guardians to do, they’re admitting that their parents are bad people or that they’re “damaged” and “lesser” in some way from having experienced it.

Your second point happens to describe exactly why so many people defend circumcision too. The parallels are strikingly similar.

This is pretty much all hardships isnt it?
“I had to work 14 hour days when I was young so you should too!”
“I had to walk to school in the blizzard up a hill in the ice so you should too!”
“When I was young we didnt have birth control so the young people shouldnt have it now either!”
Instead of having the response of: “That shit was horrible and no one should have to face it ever again.” that normal people should have.
