Disagree with you and Agree with Link. Spanking is clearly different from a beating.

I mean, the general idea behind spanking is that your children won't repeat their behavior because they're afraid you will hit them and hurt them. I don't see how that isn't beating. Yeah, you aren't mangling them but it's still violence. Parenting requires patience and maturity. Spanking demonstrates neither

I dont think the problem is with who did it. The problem is that with children (especially children), theres already so much other stuff thats shaping who they will be And because it happened so long ago from when they were children, its hard to tell what spanking actually did Like I never hear what the negative consequences are, I guess Its always just vague

Again, it just sounds like you haven't read any studies or didn't understand them
