The verdict is unambiguous: no voter, regardless of gender or age, considers slapping a legitimate part of raising a child.
The unanimity erases any demographic divide. Neither age nor gender reveals the slightest disagreement.
Two registers dominate the debate: the risk of trauma (especially neurological harm from blows to the head) and pedagogical ineffectiveness, since a slap produces fear and humiliation without helping the child understand their mistake. Several voices acknowledge it can happen under pressure without making the parent irredeemably bad, provided the moment is explained to the child afterward. Dialogue, clear boundaries, and proportionate consequences emerge as the shared alternative. One thread also flags the risk that children may reproduce the violent behavior themselves.
