The only time a man can paddle a young woman and get paid for it is if he is a porn star or a school principal in one of these 19 states. Otherwise, he would need to go to a prostitute & he would be the one paying.
The first swing would probably have caught me by surprise, the second swing (me to him), would have caught him by surprise. Never underestimate a P'od mother protecting her young!
I always get a chuckle when I read on the internet someone says they would punch someone's lights out or whatever for (in this case) paddling their daughter. I thought that you never hear of anyone actually doing it. Then I did read about a family from New Jersey who moved to a small town in the south. The daughter was in junior high & got in a fight with another girl. The principal paddled both girls. The New Jersey girl told her parents, & she was bruised as they often are. The principal happened to be working at an after school athletic event. The father went there & sucker punched the principal....layed him out. He said "If you ever touch my daughter again I'll kill you.". The wife & daughter were with him, so the principal knew exactly what it was about. I don't know what happened to the father. I imagine he was charged with assault. I guess you could say this was a classic case of culture clash! Any way, this was one time that somebody did not just write online about punching someone's lights out.
if she was told several times to get rid of the phone, we don't know what happened, he could have told her to put it away and she could have cussed him out, for example..
Anyway, two swats with a paddle is nothing..i got way worse spankings than that.

That's the problem with these kids and why they are out of control, some of them need to have their *** beat a little. They may act like an angel at home, but then parents expect administrators to put up with their "special snowflake" no, I don't think so! As someone who was threated by a 15-16 year old a few months ago, I told him I would lay him out if he touched me, and by golly I meant it. Parents need to start doing their job instead of being lazy. It's not a beating if its a few whacks.
I have lived in states that allow corporate punishment, I simply sign a form to opt out. My son was jumped by 2 boys in 3rd grade in Mississippi. The principle calls me asking me to reconsider and allow them to paddle him so they can be sent back to class instead of getting suspended. Of course I said no way. Went straight the school to see 2 boys with bloody shirts and then my son. This woman tells me, "Look what your son did. I do hope you plan on giving him your own punishment at home". I then reconfirmed that these boys did indeed "jump" my son. She says "Yes, but he went overboard instead of running to a teacher". I let her know he would take the suspension and him and I were going to get sno-balls! She was clearly ticked off by my response!
I understand that the state of Florida does not require parental consent before employing corporal punishment. Some individual school districts in Florida may do it, but they are not required to by the state. Texas only recently started requiring parental permission. Of course, this whole concept of getting written permission from the parents in advance was started out of fear of lawsuits.
All lot of schools seem to be stll back about a hundred years when it comes to things like this. Back in time it was acceptable to beat children, everyone did it. They thought it was good for the child and bent them to the right way of behaving. Maybe it worked for that time, but at what cost to those kids? When you break someone thru fear and pain, you dont get respect from them, you just get blind obedience because they dont want to get hurt again. A person like thatcan be easily manipulated their whole lives by others who threaten and hurt, or go onto treat their own children the same.
Yes, this, or you get kids who are better at not getting caught. The bad behavior isn't eradicated; it is driven underground.
I was spanked/paddled/hit with a belt. I just got better at being sneaky. I just resented authority figures and picked up some anger issues along the way. It didn't teach me 'respect' for any of them. Quite the contrary!

Quite the contrary, I learned that there are consquences - sometimes physically painful - when I misbehave. Therefore, I misbehaved less often. My dad didn't have to "beat" me to make me learn. He "jerked a knot in my tail" to remind me of what correct behavior was. Do I resent authority? Not at all. Did I get sneaky? Nope, because the notion was always there that "what my parents don't know can't hurt me, but what they find out will really hurt me." I don't have anger issues, and random violence - like on tv or Youtube videos - disturbs me greatly.
I find my daughter works well with time-outs. So does my son - for the most part. But there have been times for each of them that a smack across a clothed thigh has reminded them of correct behavior. The consequences of bad behavior must fit the crime. Sometimes, the punishment can be loss of play-time, or the phone. Sometimes, it's a time-out or a gounding. And sometimes - but rarely - it's a spanking. Not a beating, but a spanking... and there is a difference.
You say it didn't teach you any respect. With all due respect, that's you and your personality. There are a wide range of personalities that make up this world, yours being just one. To say that your method of discipline is the "correct" or "only" way to deal with misbehavior is naive at best, or foolish at worst. All we have to do is look at our failing correctional system and see this "one-size-fts-all" disciplinary system doesn't wotk on all of our prisoners. Why would it work on the kids, as well?
