The sissification and emasculation of the American male

[gcbvol]

My stepfather made us select the switch and then he would use it until he drew blood. Also beat my ass with with a 2x2 once. Good times.

How often did he smack your mother around?

We're on a website where we argue over our opinions and you have a problem with that? Sorry not sorry.

I am glad you passed down your family tradition where grown men hit children. My kid is 20, well mannered and is in college. Didn't have to beat her to get there.

I don’t have a problem. You seem to have the problem.

You think using a switch or a belt is hitting. I think that makes you look ignorant. You are a special kind of idiot if you don’t know the difference.

Since we are discussing kids. My daughter has a 4.7 gpa. 30 ACT and will be going to college this fall which most of it paid for. I actually can’t believe she accomplished this with the few spankings she received years ago.

It's troubling that you cannot figure out how to discipline a child without hitting them.

It depends upon the child.. mine got spanked once or twice their entire lives and that was when they were around two and it was a safety issue ie running into the road/ trying to dive head first out of a grocery cart lol.. you cannot reason with little kids lol.. that part of their brain has not developed yet..lol.. I was lucky, mine behaved, and just required the time outs, go to your room, pick up your room as they became older… but some people’s kids are baaaaad

Your lines are blurred on this subject. You need to take a lap because you are looking increasingly ignorant

Again, show me how to spank a child without hitting them. Do that and I bow down to your greatness.

It's troubling that you cannot figure out how to discipline a child without hitting them.

It's troubling you can't see the difference between a spanking and abuse. You never spanked your child. Good for you. Different kids respond to different stimuli. Every spanking I got, I earned. And I know plenty of well-adjusted people that grew up in households where spankings were used as punishment.


Nowadays, they're more for fun.

You smack their booty do you have kids?

My Dad only ever spanked me with his hand, which hurt like a MF. I took some legitimate lumps from Mom. The authorities would have taken me away, had they seen it, but they were few and far between. I imagine a lot of us grew up in a house like that. It starts with spanking and then it can easily escalate. Back to my earlier point that everybody is different. It was much more traumatizing for my sisters. They still get together and have a few drinks and then somebody will bring up one particular incident (that I had totally forgotten about).

I think your definitions of the 2 are the problem. If you don’t know the difference then I cant help you.

Good for you. I spanked our son 2-3 times, daughter maybe twice. What works for one may not work for everyone.

A lot of the bad kids are raised without parental involvement or discipline. I put fear of misbehaving into my child by being on the PTA including many years as president and being involved in her life. She knew I get wind of any shenanigans. I also raised my daughter without much involvement from her mother.

I have not been referring to it as abuse, but is definitely hitting. To say otherwise is just dumb.

As I said, it isn't just USPS workers, it is DELIVERY personnel in general. Nor is it a single incident.
I question if you really want to know the answer to your question, or just to lure a response, so you can denigrate it.
I see a lot of that behavior here, so much so, I'm poisoned with doubt about a questioners' sincerity.
Delivery drivers have one of the most dangerous jobs in the country. It's gotten worse.

That's actually an interesting article, it makes one wonder if the crime in those jobs are up because lawmakers are not prosecuting those criminals as much or if it's the explosion of that profession....sad either way that those companies won't let their drivers protect themselves properly.

You smack their booty do you have kids?

So you can smack their booty without hitting it?

Drawing blood is a little excessive IMO. But I've had my fair share of switch spankings, the real punishment was picking out the right one.

Same here. My oldest maybe 2-3 spankings(not hitting for the slower folks on here). My youngest maybe 8-10 spankings ( again not hitting for the really really slower folks on here).

What he described was clearly abusive. It ain't a stretch to think that it extends into other areas.

You don't want to pick the wrong one. I learned that lesson.

I'd bring in branches that were as big around as I could find.

Sometimes I think the wife misbehaves just to get a spanking.....

Again your trying to broad brush something. Maybe you are not capable of discerning details in this subject.

They fought, but never in front of us. I'm not sure he ever struck her, though. I think he was afraid of her, tbh. We were safer options when taking out frustrations.

Has a thing for the mailman, does she?

 

[Jxn Vol]

Sometimes I think the wife misbehaves just to get a spanking.....

Now can you describe the difference in this spanking and hitting. I’ve been told they were the same thing.
