Spanking to be Illegal in Scotland
#12
I live in more than one country. I have a place where it is fully illegal to spank (Andorra), however, this was a law anti-democratically passed by a (very transient) government which was designed literally as social engineering - at the very least, 'we're in power, let's do this'.

The result? The culture doesn't just *change* with the law. If you want cultural change, you have to earn it, campaign for it, as they are basically doing in England and Wales. Where it's legal to spank but you'd be hard pressed to find many people who know it's still legal.

Paradoxically, in England and Wales it's legal to give even a bare bottom spanking as long as you don't bruise the bottom, but you'd NEVER admit it to anyone (which goes double for religious figures etc).

Whereas in the other country I occupy, you could if you wanted have full informal conversations about spanking discipline with parents and I'd say the majority of parents still spank and even religious figures, Sunday school teachers spank, but it's completely illegal. Even here, it's not exactly a very 'normal' topic of conversation.

The worst effect of all of this, people lose the cultural normalcy of spanking and they end up accidentally tossing out the cultural habits that actually make it a safe (if in some eyes despicable) practice.

The result is outbursts of anger and uncontrolled rage, sudden random hitting followed by groveling parental apologies that just cement in the child's mind: (a) wow adults don't know what the hell they're doing and (b) they were very wrong to do that to me - I'm the victim.

ok Sorry, I'm now officially ranting.
