    Sometimes you need to call out media sensationalism. That barely was a slap. It definitely wasn’t injurious, powerplay maybe, locally it may even be judged playful.

    Western sensitivity doesn’t always translate well globally.

        It’s honestly so funny how this is old news, settled peer reviewed behavioral research that conclusively states corporeal punishment is shit parenting used by shit parents that results in shit kids

        And yet every time it comes up, legions of CHUDs crawl out of the woodwork to debate how it totally worked for them and their kids just fine

      When insecurity is so deep, a forced, fake display is preferable to the real wonder of a real human, child no less.
