For the record, my dad was far more qualified than my mom to be the one spanking us. My mom was abused. Dad never let her spank us.

I guess he didn't fit that stereotype you're talking about. He was smart enough not to Neanderthal his way into a parental option. Just because a guy may have larger muscles than a woman, it doesn't mean he's subject to them instead of his brain.

And we didn't get spanked past 10 years old. 11 through 18 was grounding territory. Funnily enough, we never had to get grounded because we were well behaved by that point. Weird huh?
