.@nytimes This is a ridiculous premise. Ask anyone from West Africa if they spank their children when they misbehave. They certainly do.

Current West Africa is a useless comparison as missionaries brought Christianity and its Eurocentric views towards spanking there
-
My wife is from communist China, and they spank there too. where is the non-spanking utopia to be found?
-
China isn't Africa. China wasn't plundered for resources, nor did missionaries impose their religion on the land. Irrelevant argument.
-
Not irrelevant if you blame a phenomenon on European missionaries.
-
Shrugs shoulders. I can't help you don't know anything about the role of Christianity and colonialism in Africa. It's well documented.
-
But the article claims without citing any actual evidence that Christianity caused something that is in fact universal
-
There is a big difference between spanking and abuse. They mean abuse. Humiliation.

I am sorry you had to endure violence as a child. Hitting a child should never be an option

Its frightening to see adults believe that being beaten made them better. Sounds masochistic.

I was not beat enough. If you don't discipline, they shoot classmates
