Some parents only use spanking as a last resort, while others use it multiple times daily. Many people…

Even author of NEW FEMINISM’S WAR ON WOMEN, Brendan O 'Neill states that “This is the idea that women have been so brainwashed by patriarchal culture that they don’t know what’s good for them anymore” (2015 p. 12).
