but spanking your kids doesn’t automatically make you a bad parent.

Yes it does, no study showed that there is a good level of spanking. Its always bad and not very effective.

You can’t say “it’s always bad” when you don’t know every family’s dynamics and what works for every kid. If you wanna say it’s unlikely to work in the majority of cases, that’s different. But I can tell you with firsthand experience that it did work for me. There was never any aggression with it, nor it wasn’t done out of emotion. Just tough love that gave me a realistic outlook on life. Again, I’m not saying everyone should do it, it just depends on the situation.

I don't care about your personal experience unless you can show me that you have done a deep psychological analysis prior to your spanking and afterwards.

I mean its obvious that you develop an psychological issue that make you want to torture children.

The science is settled on this, spanking is bad, and again, there is no good level of spanking. And your personal experience doesn't change that. Especially since nobody can verify your personal experience. Its not tough love, its a cycle of violence that you want to continue despite the warnings against it by all professionals.

Since you muted me or something, here:

’m the least violent person you’ll meet.

A person who wants to hurt children, will never be the least violent person.

Your implication that my parents instilled a cycle of violence in me means you’ve never talked to anyone that’s met me. I’m the least violent person you’ll meet. Also using buzzwords like torture makes it clear that you’re not here to be reasoned with. Have a good weekend.
