It’s always in a joking manner… but not really? Just like “yeah you gotta pop em once or twice so they’ll know”. Idk shits weird
You hang around some fucked up people. Nobody ever made a comment like that to me while raising my daughter.
Typically, physical violence towards boys is seen as normal, expected and necessary. As violence is seen as the natural realm of males. While girls are perfect flowery princesses that must be protected. At least until puberty when everyone* who is not their parent seems to regard every teen girl as an incubator.
*: People who uncritically abscribe to traditional misogynistic conceptions of gender.
I’ve had a conversation or two that went like that. Weird strangers telling me I should be kicking my kids ass. And they say it in front of my kids too.
If you’ve got parents around you telling you your kids are floating turds I’d have a good hard look at how you’re parenting. Or hey if everyone around you is insane maybe it’s just everyone is insane…
Nothing wrong with a spanking, unless you ask the pussies raising kids with zero respect these days.
Corporal punishment breeds fear, not respect.
What does is loving, present, interested parents, combined with consistent, logical rules, with consistent consequences.
Spanking will work in the short term, at the cost of significant damage to their adult psyche. It’s insidious, hard to fix later. When the foundations of trust are shattered, everything else following is built of a bed of sand.
That must be why entire generations of people were ruined. Thank god this generation figured it out!
That would get you 6 months to 10 years in jail in germany. its a crime to hit you kids here. righfully so.
Its abuse rightfully so, but hot dam Germany has some serious problems of its own now. Glass houses and stones.
