Personal blog! i typically repost kpop groups i like, current political issues i want to raise awareness for, and posts that i relate to in general. i try to keep it as sfw as possible but some themes (esp. political) aren’t suitable for all audiences :)

It's always "stop harming yourself or we'll have to lock you up!!!" and never "what do you need to change to want to harm yourself less and how can we help you make some of these changes?" and that's why we're not getting anywhere

The Long-Term Effects of Spanking

A multiyear study shows spanking kids makes them more aggressive later on

I haven’t pissed people off lately by reminding them that ALL types of physical punishment of kids has been proven beyond ANY reasonable doubt to have only negative long term outcomes.

So let me scream it from the hilltops:

Stop hitting kids. End of sentence.

If you think, “but I was hit and I turned out just fine” let me pre-reply: NO YOU DID NOT. You think hitting a child is ok, how the fuck does that qualify as “fine”?????? From one abuse survivor to another: please start healing yourself.

YOU GOTTA BE FUCKING KIDDING ME TUMBLR

So annoying. So GD annoying.

Equivocating between "beaten with a stick" and "an open hand slap on the bottom" is the basis of all of these "findings" and is a good example of why social sciences are just propaganda wearing academia as a skinsuit.

TBH it's similar to "children who grow up in households with books have better academic results, therefore we should provide free books to everyone". Actually no, you just have a cargo cult understanding of outcomes.

The way things have always been done is the way they should continue to be done.

[whatbigotspost]

Hey fucking abusive dumb ass fascist--if your misunderstanding here wasn't so high stakes (you're advocating for hurting kids Real Grade A You Should Totally Abuse Kids comment) how much you've misunderstood this research is almost comedy.

Let me help you: it's actually saying that it DOESN'T MATTER if it's "light" physical abuse....the outcomes are ALL NEGATIVE. That's the point. Outcomes = bad from all types of "corporal punishment." 100% NO positivity comes from hitting kids. Period. Point blank.

What you personally consider to be "tee hee cutesy just for kids it's so light and itty bitty abuse" doesn't matter.

Hitting your kids will harm them.

If you can reply so fundamentally "my head is up my own ass DEEP" in the face of an overwhelming amount of evidence against your views, there's literally nothing I can do for you and I wish you a very blocked.

ppl without meds: wow…. i can't imagine being dependent on medicine... pills every day? injecting myself every week? how tragic

ppl who need meds: holy fuck they invented the solution to my problem and i literally just need to take magic tiny rocks and inject some substance every week. oh my god. i get to feel better in literally any capacity. holy shit

[fidelcostco]

ppl who need meds but can't access them/meds for their thing don't exist yet: holy fuck I wish I had tiny magic rocks or injectable substance or cream or gel or potion or implant to take at whatever rate necessary to fix my problem. I'd kill to take that every day/week/etc forever if it would fix my thing

sorry i will never understand cis grief. your daughter is living her best life and going around with friends and feeling like a human being. your son doesn’t feel like he needs to crawl out of his skin anymore and can actually smile. your children are happy and no longer see their existence as the worst thing in the world. why are you grieving this lmao. grow up.

[blackwoolncrown]

When you remember that a lot of cishet ppl, being total normies, have kids for extremely self-serving reasons, it makes way more sense that they act like their child wanting to be fully themselves is an act of personal betrayal--- they filter the entire event through a lens of "how does this affect the social perception I had this child to uphold?"
