!. There is no proverb which says "Spare the rod and spoil the child" That is a line from a play by Hudibras.

There are proverbs which recommend hitting sons. Rehoboam was the result.

2. There is not one line in the Bible which says you can hit daughters. Although you may sell them and the owner may beat them.

I'm offline for a bit.

For what sin will you hold your child accountable?

How's about Proverbs 13:24 "He that spareth his rod hateth hes son: but he that loveth him chasteneth him betimes."

With all due respect, you are mistaken when you say there is no proverb in the Bible saying "spare the rod and spoil the child".
Proverbs 13:24 says, "He that spareth the rod, hateth his son, but he who loveth him chasteneth him betimes".

The meaning is very clear to those who have eyes to see...

In modern day language, this means..."spare the rod and spoil the child"...sex doesn't matter...girls, as human beings, are as willful today as young men in biblical times.
