Re: Controversial opinions

[blunderbuss]

It's not irrational. making_excuses was polite about it, but I've seen this argument many many times and nearly everytime I've seen someone say 'spanking is child abuse' or 'spanking makes you a bad parent' or 'if I see a child getting spanked I will report the parent to CPS'.

FFS I remember some SJW a few years back argue that spanking was SEXUAL ABUSE and spanking girls will make them more likely to accept abusive relationships. If you weren't bothered by your childhood spanking you have stockholm syndrome!

There's only so much you can hear of that before you just instinctively eyeroll whenever the subject comes up.

I just roll my eyes at it in general because I have yet to see any sort of demonstrable proof that spanking causes lifelong harm.

My siblings and I were spanked. Most of my friends were spanked. My parents and their siblings were spanked. And, shockingly, all of us grew up just fine and have good relationships with our parents. None of us "acted out" or anything like that either. (In fact, not a single one of my siblings nor I ever even got a detention in school.)

There is a huge, huge difference between a quick spanking (which is intended to startle the child rather than actually hurt them) and actual child abuse. To be honest, I'm more concerned about the people who can't see the difference between the two.

But your personal anecdote isn't evidence for or against spanking. Most people in general do grow up fine. Your parents weren't necessarily bad parents, but they still used a bad form of punishment and could've made a better choice there.

Read the APA's studies about spanking - you'll find there IS plenty of evidence that shows spanking is a bad punishment, and that it correlates with MORE negative behaviors. There have been numerous studies, and none of them indicate that spanking is acceptable as a form of punishment.

In some countries (mine included) spanking is child abuse, so I sure as hell would report it to CPS if I knew it was happening...
