Look, I’m not saying they shouted “witch” and burned them at the stake (especially considering this was like mid-1900s?) but they’d be freaked out. Hell, people still believe in ghosts now and a good bit of that is still from camera stuff

That's an absolutely fucked thing to say to someone who was beaten as a kid.

And I strongly disagree with your suggestion that hitting a child is a less-effective form of discipline. Beating a child does not get your point across at all, unless your point is that you are an abusive person, not safe to be around.

This is painfully true. I've had two girlfriends say I didn't do much in our relationship. So I sat down and wrote out everything I did for them. Both told me to stop. I kept writing and left the list out. One used to stop and read it often. It was almost like she had to reassure herself that I did all these things for her.
