I Believe In Traditional Family Values

I grew up in a household where love and respect are highly valued. The younger ones always have to listen to their elders and the older family members are allowed to discipline the younger ones as they see fit. It has always been like this since my parents' time and will continue to be so for more years to come.

Likewise, my brothers often take charge when my parents aren't around (technically theres only me and them left) and I am obliged to listen to them or there will be consequences. Hence I don't fancy being the youngest but I'm glad they don't abuse their authority and still love me unconditionally :)

Oh, you are one of those with the spanking fetish, so no wonder.

And I am sure you are neither 17 nor a woman.

You zeroed in on spanking even though she never mentioned it. There is much more to discipline than spanking -- though in most (all) traditional families there will be spanking. She did describe am defining characteristic of traditional families and that is a natural hierarchical structure. Even though heirarchy is part of the natural order (everywhere) modernity hates it. It prefers families that are a democracy (without a constitution) where parents are just friends. In the traditional family the parents are absolute monarchs who may delegate authority down hierarchical lines --including the maintaining of discipline, which could include the authority to levy punishment.
