nope...did not end in fifties..i grew up in seventies and early eighties..my brother and i used to get our ass tore up with the belt...dont see the big deal...there is a difference between abuse and good ole ass whipping from dad...problem is no kids get that good ole ass whipping from dad anymore..and a lot of it is because there is no “dad” to be found anywhere. i may get pounded for this but i do not see a problem with good ole ass whipping to get a kid back in line and make think twice before doing it again. and im not talking about beating toddlers with belts and such that are not old enough to understand what they did wrong. and yes i have two daughters one grown and moved on. one still with us

Quite a few differing attitudes on this thread.
America was developed and built by men that had a father that disciplined his son.
I don't much give a shit WHAT feminist thought pattern has crept into the American psyche ... men built this nation and they, in all probability had THEIR asses whooped and whooped a few themselves
Then along came the sixties.
