You assume that all corporal punishment comes from anger. And you also assume all corporal punishment is beating kids. A lot of parents hit their children as a conscious act of disciplining.
A conscious act of abuse.
Sure. But still not all of them do it out of anger. In fact, I’m hopeful that most don’t. Because if you hit children because you’re angry, you’re an asshole, but if you hit children as a means to discipline then you’re just a misguided parent.
