Spanking a separate issue. One man’s spanking is another man’s beating.
A better way to phrase it is in terms of discipline and structure. Discipline takes many forms. It doesn’t have to be physical. In fact, it is much more valuable to discipline a person’s will and learn self control. A woman _could_ do it, but I do not think that is the norm as a father cannot provide all mothering needs either. Religions teach it, but it requires the participation of the individual to reap benefits.
It’s increasingly apparent that positive maternal and paternal influences are vital to the formation of healthy individuals.
you are correct, my example was intended to show how the psychologists are so invested in moral relativism that they can’t even consider right and wrong.
Fathers and Mothers are serperate and both roles needed.
The government can never fit the role of mother or father or both.
