@npub1kpw…xzz4 @npub1jfl…fmdd my parents beat me growing up. I don't think it was done for bad reasons for the majority of the time.
I'm not a child beater (not yet anyway). I was the beaten child and I think getting beat did me good. Most of my friends I know grew up getting beaten by their parents. Most of them don't look back at the beatings with trauma. Conversely, some kids who don't get beat as children turn out to be good-for-nothings or criminals.
Culture and context is important. But sure, you do you

@npub1kpw…xzz4 what if beating kids prevents them from doing things that will cause them even greater harm in future? As far as I know, most parents don't beat their kids out of anger but rather to discipline them.
If that discipline prevents even greater self destructive behaviour in future (e.g. playing with fire, running with scissors, etc), is it not justified? Keep in mind that it takes time for children to understand concepts of right and wrong or "this could kill/hurt me or others".

@npub1kpw…xzz4 or perhaps not all right and wrongs are objective but subjective?
Culture plays a big role in determining if some behaviours are socially acceptable or not.

@npub1kpw…xzz4 He doesn't work as a scientist or "in a field of biology". He works as a programmer as stated in his own profile... he is LARPing.
Ultracrepidarianism at its finest.
