With girl’s dresses, being thick as well as petticoats, and in those days thick school knickers, to make a punishment effective the bottom had to be exposed. or girls of his age he was regarded as “unpleasant” for all concerned so it was carried out on the hands. I think, if I hand-smacked a boy or girl of junior age before 1960 parents would complain that it was
not effective. I was only after his date, when a move against cp was started, that hand spanking became more acceptable, and not regarded as cp.
