Not all, but many actually were and most of the publicity about them was overblown and cherry picked to make them out to be even worse than they actually were.
Ok, riddle me this. Take any high school yearbook from the 1930’s. Look specifically at the senior boys. In the 1930’s they were quite obviously men. They had square, chiseled jaws, 5 o’clock shadow and if you’ve heard anyone from that generation their voices were clearly that of grown men. Deep and resonant.
Now, take the high school yearbook for the year 2012. None of the boys have chiseled square jaws, none of them have really any body hair at all. Even IF they’re not busy waxing it all off. And their voices are those of 13yr old boys in days gone by.
I’m sure that’s all down to bad parenting. Maybe if they’d been spanked more they’d be more masculine!
SOMETHING is poisoning the men in this country (and most of the west). And I don’t think it’s because the kids weren’t spanked.
On a side note, have you see the square jaws and aggressive behavior in many of the young women today? I’m sure had they been spanked more they’d be more feminine. PS, a great many of them have some sort of reproductive issues as well. PCOS, endometriosis, thyroid problems, autoimmune diseases. You name it.
Had they only been spanked more maybe they’d have been healthier!
