[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's interesting how we now make up what abuse is.[/quote]

Says the child beating ahole.[/quote]

I mean I don’t do that. But tapping a child on the bottom is not abuse. [/quote]

Tapping a child on the bottom or slapping the hand is not spanking or beating.[/quote]

So if your husband did that to you, it would be ok, right? [/quote]

Her husband is not a child.

If her husband limited her candy intake to 2 a day, it won't be okay either. Yet most would agree that limiting a child's candy intake to 2 a day is ok.[/quote]

If you think it’s not appropriate for a husband to discipline his wife or limit her candy intake, please reflect on the reality that women were also essentially property of f their husbands not that long ago. There have been many arguments made for treating people badly if they are believed to lack the capacity for self-care. It is generally agreed that we shouldn’t hit people, except in this one instance which people go to great lengths to normalize. Often by reframing “hitting their children as discipline” as “a tap” or “a swat” or some other word that is vaguer than what actually happened, which was that an adult used physical power and pain in order to enforce compliance. If the adult was doing that to an adult dependent, it would be totally unacceptable. [/quote]
