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”.
part of it, i think, is resistance to change, i.e., “if it was fine for my parents to do, how could it be wrong now?”, and the other part is a fucked up desire to exercise domination over a child through violence.
Rites of passage. These parents earned the right to hit their kids when they survived their own childhood beatings and were taught that violence is a solution.
By the title, I thought this was going to be a horny post. I have the spray ready just in case.
I get spanked as an adult :pingu-horny:
Corporal punishment might honestly be a big part of the reason why so many older people are complete shitheads
You see this shit normalized in Latino communities too, saying that we’re more well-behaved because of it. See: chancla memes, getting el cinto, being afraid of your mom, etc. All it did for me was make me weary of authority figures and resent my dad. And I got spanked the least out of my cousins, who all act out worse than I ever did.
