Back in the 1990’s when they made it illegal for parents to assault their children in my country, the far right was pissing and moaning about it, calling it “a monstrously socialist law” and warning about anarchy.
The ban passed and no normal people felt any desire to go back to the barbarism of the past. The far right then began changing their opinion from “we want to hurt children” over “hurting children was fine when we were just white people but now that we have all these Muslims here we have to ban it because they’re so violent and they can’t control themselves” to “we don’t hit our children here which proves how much more civilised we are”.

When I had braces as a kid, my mum would hit me with a wooden spoon in the mouth, because the braces would cut my cheeks and wouldn’t leave a visible mark. Corporal punishment is never about punishment, it’s about cruelty and adults unable to control their temper and violent impulses towards those who can’t fight back.
should only be used on adults who think they should be allowed to hit children
useless.
Useless and fucked up
I don’t see a need for it
Probably not great and shouldn’t be encouraged.
Thoughts on hitting small defenseless vulnerable humans who are still developing?
I got whooped as a kid and I turned out alright!
(THE DEMONS IN MY BRAIN YEARN FOR ESCAPE. AHHHGAGAHAHEHEHHFFUCKKKK)
Yeah, I turned out alright.
If I ever see my dad again I’m going to beat the dogshit out of him 😊 what goes around comes around 🤷🏿♂️
I’m willing to accept that it may be necessary, but I also think it is overused. IMO it should be a last resort.
No excuse for it with kids, shouldn’t be used against adults either.
Lenin banned it for a reason
