Subject: Re: Spanking of teens Author: Longtime Lurker [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 16:31:21 10/14/25 Tue In reply to: Longtime Lurker 's message, "Re: Spanking of teens" on 15:16:53 10/14/25 Tue The problem when someone doesn't know what he's talking about is that he assumes others don't, as well. The below doesn't provide data on socio-economic status nor ethnicity nor religion (though, interestingly, education of parents does not seem to correspond to teenagers in the same way it corresponds to younger children) but it does confirm a lot of the other points: https://www.unh.edu/ccrc/sites/default/files/media/2022-02/corporal-punishment-current-rates-from-a-national-survey.pdf The below addresses level of religion upon propensity to spank: https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC5758423/ Asian-Americans are less likely to approve of spanking: https://www.nbcnews.com/news/asian-america/are-asian-american-parents-less-likely-spank-their-children-n221171 Reform Jews (the largest group in the U.S.) explicitly suggest *never* spanking even toddlers... and has so since the 1990s: https://reformjudaism.org/learning/answers-jewish-questions/does-judaism-advise-spanking-disobedient-child As a Jew, myself, and a member of the broader Jewish community, I can attest to the fact that spanking is exceedingly rare. As I said, some of my comment was anecdotal. I cannot immediately find reliable information on Hindu parenting -- but I have plenty of Hindu friends with who I've spoken about this issue. Similarly, most studies do not differentiate between bare and clothed. But if you think the percentage of teenagers spanked bare is as high as the total I've got a bridge to sell you.

The first survey was done by an anti-spanking group proven by the first sentence and the use of the term "Science" It was done in 2014 the very height of woke nonsense which receding very rapidly and traditional practices returning. The only conclusion is that your original post is how you WANT things to be and that anyone on these forms asserting they are teens or parents of teens are nearly all fantasies. You may be anti spanker but to come on here and assert we are all or mostly fake is a joke. The real question is why YOU are on here if almost everything is basically bullshit and lies. You enjoy reading bullshit and lies while being sanctimonious about your anti-spanking propaganda. Seen it all before. [ Post a Reply to This Message ]

[> [> [> [> Subject: Re: Spanking of teens Author: Brett to Lurker [ Edit | View ] Date Posted: 17:23:18 10/14/25 Tue I don't see where "Longtime Lurker" was claiming proof of anything. There was a question about authenticity here, and that was one attempt at an answer. There are links to information gathered from some studies/surveys that you can choose to believe or not, and some impressions gathered from life. Why are you so hostile? You haven't disproven a thing, or at least provided some study or form of evidence that might be credible to someone with no stake in the argument. All you've got is some ranting about anti-spanker conspiracies, with no proof to support a conclusion about anyone's background, motivations or ideology. Maybe you assume that some number of completely unverified posts here must not be fantasies. Maybe you want to believe they're all real, which is your right. You do not need even a shred of evidence or compelling theory to back anything up, but that also leaves you with no answer to the question and nothing to argue about.
