Sorry, but this is ridiculous. Women were much more virtuous in the past even without corporal punishment. Generally speaking, corporal punishment is effective only for the younger children who have not used the age of reason. After that, they must themselves adopt the proper mindset and attitude. What's happened is ideological, and philosophical, and theological. Even if women were submissive to their fathers and husbands, what exactly would they be submissive to when the men themselves have cast off the "yoke" of religion? If men don't obey God and the Church, then how are women to be expected to obey them? If the men's minds have been poisoned, then the women would be submissive to their evil. It all goes back to the nearly universal loss of faith. To reduce this to the lack of corporal punishment is absurd.
