There could be stories. In a traditional family - like in some old - fashioned large households - if a new male student was under the care of an older male figure (not a biological parent but with some authority), and the student did something seriously wrong like stealing or lying, the older male might use spanking as a form of discipline. But again, this form of discipline is not acceptable in today's society as it violates the rights and dignity of the individual.
Yes, there might be. One possible reason could be related to hazing in certain exclusive groups. In some traditional or secretive clubs, new members might face such treatment from older ones as a 'rite of passage', which is a wrong and often illegal practice. Another reason could be in the context of an extremely strict boarding school where discipline was enforced in rather harsh ways in the past.
Psychologically, they might experience feelings of humiliation and low self - esteem. For example, if it happens in a school setting among peers, they could become withdrawn and less likely to participate in social activities.
One reason could be for comical effect. It can be seen as something unexpected and a bit silly, which can make the readers laugh. Another reason might be in the context of exploring power dynamics in a non - traditional way. Maybe to show that even adult men can be in a position of being 'disciplined' in a fictional and somewhat absurd situation.
In some fictional stories, it could be due to a misunderstanding. Maybe the students thought the teacher was being unfair, and in their overzealous attempt to rebel, they resorted to this extreme action. But this is just a made - up scenario for the sake of the story.
In some stories, it could be a form of discipline within a traditional ranch - family setting. Maybe the ranch has strict rules about safety around the animals or equipment, and spanking is an extreme form of punishment for breaking those rules.
Maybe in the story, the boy has done something very wrong that the adults in the story think needs immediate and public punishment. But this is a wrong approach as it doesn't respect the boy's privacy.
The new mother may be under a great deal of stress. Taking care of a new baby is extremely challenging, and if she has other children as well, a misbehaving child could push her to her limits. She might think that spanking is a quick way to get the child to stop the unwanted behavior, like if the child is constantly fighting with siblings or making a mess right after she has just cleaned up. But again, there are better, non - violent ways to handle such situations, like teaching the child about consequences through positive communication.
The reasons can be complex. Firstly, traditional ideas about discipline might play a role. In some old - fashioned family or social setups, women were expected to enforce certain rules on children, and spanking was a form of punishment. But the humiliation part is not acceptable in modern views. Secondly, in the realm of storytelling, some authors might use such extreme situations to make a point about power dynamics or the negative effects of over - zealous discipline. However, these stories are not in line with the values of equality and respect that are promoted today. Also, it could be a misrepresentation of normal disciplinary actions in some cases.
One reason could be for the sake of discipline. In stories, women are sometimes portrayed as enforcers of moral and social rules, and spanking is seen as a way to correct a boy's wrong behavior.
One reason might be to teach a lesson in a very strict and old - school way. In the stories, perhaps the adults thought that by making the boy wear a dress, they were taking away his sense of masculinity as a form of punishment. And spanking was just part of the overall harsh discipline. It could also be related to the social norms of the time the story was set in, where certain behaviors were not tolerated and this was a way to make an example out of the boy.
One reason could be to show the idea of discipline. In some fictional settings, it might be used to teach the boy a lesson about right and wrong.
