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”.
Wilhelm Reich emoji when?
Definitely not traumatic to have your massive military dad grab you by your arm and throw you against the stairs and then beat your tiny ass until you’re screaming
No I don’t have trauma why are you asking
because they don’t know how to discipline their kids and beating them is easier
masking kids: this is abuse! it stunts their social development, they don’t like it
spanking kids: the little goddamn shit is gonna learn discipline or else they can sleep on the street!
