I heard an interview once with a guy who had been studying child abuse for decades. He said “People abuse kids because they can”. That’s it. People who defend hitting kids are like people who defend eugenics.
I love you, Red.

Dear Pandora:

And why is it that I had to create a playlist just for lady song writers and then ride the thumbs down button HARD if I want to make sure no dudes cross the line? The lady songs...

There is NOTHING that a child, who is on the losing end of the power imbalance, can do that warrants striking them. Ever.
