Nobody has smacked their kids for decades, that's why we've got a generation of young people who are all entitled, histrionic wetwipes with more personal pronouns than job skills.

The hitting hasn’t stopped, btw—it’s just done with more guilt and secrecy. People who were hit have still been raising today’s children, and it will take much more than one generation to make a difference. Hitting children teaches them that if you’re bigger and/or stronger, you have the imperative to bully others to get them to do what you want. That is a difficult mindset to reverse.
