Almost all the people I know who still believe in beating their kids and calling it a “correction” or “discipline” are generally on the religious Republican/conservative end of the political spectrum. Enforcing gender roles is more typical of Republicans/conservatives. Maintaining an unhappy marriage, which teaches unhealthy relationships to the children, because “my marriage is a promise to God!” is more typical of Republicans/conservatives. Etc, etc, etc.
I’m just saying that they think (or have been brainwashed to think) they are doing what is best for the kids and family. Its just hard to argue that the person literally helping you to provide for that same family (progressive policies in action) isn’t also helping.
