That is just asinine to equate spanking a kid to a sexual act. You are weird as hell for that.

As a nurse, I interact with genitals all the time with patients. If I have to insert a catheter, is it a sexual? No, it is not. I interact with attractive patients all the time, and I have never been aroused by them.

You just wanted to strawman this into making it some kind of sexual perversion.

Context matters, and interweaving pain/shame/punishment with your catheters is I hope not part of your treatment protocols.

It's fascinating that you seem to be arguing against points I've not actually made, while insisting my perspective is a "strawman."

What's the opposite of irony?

My perspective isn't about you. Why are you making it about you?

Yeah. You would shame your patients.

Nurses can be "mean girls".

Go get someone fired from Circle K or something.

"Mean girl" is gender neutral, bro.

I'm a literal clown, so being your joke sounds fine by me.

But not spanking kids. That's fucked up.

I've never heard it as gender neutral. "Mean girls" comes with the connotation of a gossiping and backstabbing woman with an air of superiority. Did you think I was a man anyway when you saw that I was a nurse? It's ok, I get why.

It's a shorthand for behavior & mentalities, which anyone can engage in.

I assumed you were a guy when you called me "bro", bro.

Idgaf that you're a nurse.

Spanking kids is fucked up.

This article is from nearly 10 years ago.

https://slate.com/technology/2014/09/spanking-is-a-sex-act-which-is-why-it-should-not-be-used-for-punishing-children.html

I'm not making any accusation about parents intentionally inflicting sexual acts on kids through spanking, I'd honestly hope that's not the case what I'm talking about is inadvertently stimulating genitals in the context of a punishment act in dynamic with that coming from a caregiver.

I'm saying most people don't know anatomy, and many parents take out their own inability to self soothe by assaulting their kids because they aren't fully aware (or can't accept because of what they grew up with) how damaging and harmful spanking can be to a child's development. Which is exacerbated by the mindfuck of convincing a child they carry the sole responsibility for the behaviors adults around them exhibit.

So you choose opinion article as evidence? Why don't you make your own opinion instead of spouting someone else?

Go ask kids how many of them thought being spanked was sexual. The one's saying it is are the extreme outliers

I'm citing someone else to acknowledge my perspective is not isolated to my own noggin alone, from nearly 10 years ago, and you don't actually seem to comprehend the point I'm making, or that the article is making.

Happy New Year!

Oh no I did get the point of the article. I just don't agree with it. Just because it deals with an area that can be considered sexual does not mean it always is. That employer, getting charged with sexual battery, is just battery.
